Check with Susan B Komen webstite or the American Cancer Society. They both have 1-800 #s where you can talk to someone. Only about 1 percent of all breast cancer is in men but if you're concerned, don't wait to get checked. Take good care of yourself.
Good Luck
Most breast lumps are not cancerous.
Symptoms of male breast cancer include lumps, changes to the nipple or breast skin - redness or scaling, skin dimpling or puckering, or nipple discharge.
What you need to do is get a clinical breast examination done by a physician. If he notices something amiss he will suggest a mammogram and USG.
It would then be possible on the basis of these reports to decide whether a core needle biopsy or a surgical excision biopsy would be required in your case.
Let us know if this helps and if you have any other doubts.

I'm not trying to scare you.
You should just be informed.
