Should I start saving?

[xbz]

This is my first post here. I'm 20, and about a month ago I first noticed some hard tissue under my left nipple; and I had a vague recollection of hearing about gynecomastia somewhere, so I grabbed my camera to document it as soon as possible.

By now, the tissue seems to have grown quite a bit larger (I'm also experiencing pain somewhere inside my pecs, even though they're not tender [yet]), and I can feel a similar tissue under my right nipple too. My nipples have also gotten more puffy, resembling the dreaded cones when they look as worst.

I don't know if this will progress further. Maybe I should start saving for a surgery. It might not have changed much, but changed it have - and who knows what state it will have reached in about a years time from now if it continues at the same pace.

I'd say add more muscle to your frame, then see if it looks okay. But, if it's gland, & bothers you, start saving. To me, you look bird chested. A lot of people pay surgery to have out comes as good as you.

i don't see anything wrong, and i'm not one of those guys that looks at minor cases and says no big deal, i'll point it out even if it's mild, but i don't see anything here

You got to be kidding me. I would kill for your chest.  Seriously, don't waste your time worry about nothing.

[Spleen]

I have to agree.  I see nothing wrong.

Agree...it looks fine.

Although, if you think it's growing, it may get worse. Start lifting heavy, low rep weights and don't drink a lot of beer...just liquer if your even a drinker.

That's just my two cents...could be wrong...

No, don't start saving, start running because I'm about to run you over with my car for wasting my time.

Thanks for your answers (and your time, please keep that car away from me ).

Actually, I think there's something going on as the tissue I noticed more and more feels like a lump every day (and I don't think that it's only paranoia).

If anything more happens, I'll keep you updated.

Your chest looks great to me -- dont' see anything wrong with it.

If you feel something there only under your left nipple...not under both nipples...maybe it is a tumor. It probably isn't though, but it is something to be concerned about.

Have you had a girlfriend do anything to your nipples or anything to maybe make them ... seem like they are getting more puffy?

xyz - what are we looking for?  I see nothing abnormal.

boobhater - I was thinking the same thing, get checked out for a possible tumor.  That would be worse than gyne, at least to me it would. If you feel a lump, get it checked by at least 2 docs. That's probably not something you want to mess with.

gynegoawayplz - I like the comment about the car....

xbz, I don't think you have anything to worry about. Your chest looks just fine.

[The_Slacker]

you are totally normal. if it starts to get larger then maybe come back or go to a doctor. i dont really know what you can do if you catch it early?
