Do I have gynecomastia?

[chris330]

Hi, I'm 16 and my nipples have been puffy for around three years now and I have some mildly hard disc-shape things under them.  I was wondering If this is definitely gynecomastia or if it isn't.  Also if it is what can I do for it.  Also, I know the pictures are blurry but my nipples stick out more than shown in the pictures.  Thanks

Do some research on here and you'll see a lot of posts with people your age/situation and Dr.'s responses to them. 

You don't look too bad to me. Looks like you might have a little, but again, I'm not a Dr.

Looks like gland to me homey. They will go away in a couple years but will likely come back in your late 20's...trust me I know from experience.

I just had surgery by Dr Bermant. Highly recommend him if you can afford it.

Hey I'm almost 16 too, but mine is worse than yours..don't worry about it.

I wish my chest was anything like that...just saying.

Looks like you have some gland around the nipples, here's 2 ways to check:

Tense up you pectoral muscles as hard as you can and feel around, pat from your neck down to your nipples and if you feel a lot of fat/tissue around your nipple it could be gyno.

Raise your two hands above your head so you stretch your chest. If you still have a circular lump that sticks out than it is most likely gyno. Fat and muscle are stretched out flat but gyno won't. You can check by looking in a mirror or raising one arm at a time.
