i have a white oval bump above my left nipple, and it's been there for like, at least 4 years, i'm not too sure. i noticed today that it might have gotten bigger, but i'm not sure if it's all in my mind or not. anyways, it's probably not skin cancer right? i'm a 135 pound 5'7'' guy, so it's definitely not breast cancer, right?
Men do have some breast tissue and can get breast cancer although it's rare. Most lumpsLumps in the breasts in the breast region turn out to have other minor causes.
