I'm really worried I have gynecomastia.. It's been bugging me for a while..
Keep in mind I'm still 17, made like 1 month ago, if that makes any difference since I heard it could be sometimes about puberty.

I'll post some pics.

I can't upload them to the site, so I just used gyazo

Thanks

Pretty mild not unlike what occurs as you go through puberty.If you are going through puberty this will improve with time.

I am going through puberty, so can I expect this to improve with time Dr.?

It is normal to accumulate some increased tissue in the breast bud during puberty.The increase in tissue mass typically regresses with time.

Just one more thing, can I expect them just to slightly regress, or could they maybe appear normal (talking about my nipples mostly) or at least semi-normal?

That's the million dollar question. Statistically the odds are in your favor, but for your specific case only time will tell.

I understand, I might go and get checked anyway..

Should I see endocrinologist?
