I am an 18 year old male, and ever since I was abut 12 or 13 I've had puffy nipples.  I am not overweight, 5 foot 9, 160 pounds, relatively built.  However my nipples are best described as puffy.  The only times they look normal, are when they get hard.  Its extremely depressing.  The feeling that youre too embarassed to take your shirt off at the beach because your ashamed is terrible, or bashful to take off your wife-beater around your girl friend sucks.  Does anyone know if this is infact gynecomastia? If so, what are my options to get this cured.  I am going to college in a couple months and dont plan on being "the kid with the puffy nipples" around campus.

Unfortunately if what you have is genuine gynecomastia, than the only cure is to have the glands behind your nipples surgically removed. There is a user-picture posting forum if you'd like to submit your picture for review by others.

There is a lot to be learned here. I suggest poking around and doing some reading. Good luck.

By the way: I'm in the same boat you're in. I weigh 160 and I've got the puffy nipples goin on too.

Where are you from?  Some (or all of it) can be covered in Canada; in Ontario it's under OHIP.  Dunno about the other provinces though.
