puberty side effect??

[MrDavo9999]

I have this pea size lump underneath my left nipple, ive had it for about a month now.. I think i might be growing another under my right, there is a lump there but it is smaller but has been getting bigger. I've read a few things and most people have said it is a side effect of puberty and it should go away in 2 months or so.. Is this true? if not what can i do to get rid of it?, cause the left 1 hurts whenever i touch it or roll on it during the night...

Thanks, yeh I thought it was that. This helps to take a lot off my mind. I have noticed a slight decrease in size in the left lump and the right has gotten to the size the left used to be, just waiting for them both to go now :D ty for the advice

Hi there,
These kind of lumps you are describing,could be a condition called Gynecomastia.
This can occur as a swelling of the breast or simply as lumps under the nipple that can last for a while,but will eventually disappear in a few months without any treatment.
The reason for this is "hormonal changes" in young males that occur due to puberty.
Please talk to your mom or dad to take you to your family doctor who will be familiar with this condition from experience and can reassure you that there is nothing wrong with your breast.A lot of young men your age have this problem and you have nothing to worry about okay?
Take care...

you going to help me some more or is that first piece of advice the only piece you give?

[MrDavo9999]

it doesnt hurt unless i touch it and even then it doesn't hurt that much, and if there is 1 also under my right nipple aswell, would it be coincidence that i would get 2 infected hair roots on each nipple or is that unlikely to happen (eg, it might not be infected hair roots)? my mother also told me that my older brother had swollen nipple when he was my age. He's fine now, me and him look a like( eg same hair colour and both pretty hairy) compared to my other brother. What are the risks of not getting a infected hair root checked out? because a doctor isn't really and option for me at the moment.

Hi!
In all probability the small pea sized lump or lumps under or around the nipple are areolar skin glands or Montgomery glands. They are normal findings at puberty. However, if the lump is painful or increasing in size or causing redness, then this could be an infected hair root. In this case, you would need to consult a doctor immediately. If the lump is painless, not bothering you at all, then please do not touch it or squeeze it. Just watch the lump every few days and if it becomes bigger or painful, consult a doctor immediately.
Take care!
