Dude,
 You mentioned it an earlier comment about empty space behind the nipples.
 I have been experiencing this. I describe it more as a donut hole behind the center of my nipples.
 Not sure what I can expect with this down the road? But you said yours filled in with firm tissue. Did your nipples end up projecting more from that?

Even in the hot weather my headlights are on high beams. I tried nipples covers but they give me a cone looking weird thing going on. Really looked bad. My wife just laughed and said no way. 
This is me in my boob smashing bralette but my nipples still show through a tshirt or polo.
Ah living with boobs…what a challenge

I get a wellness check every year being on Medicare. My GP retired and had to see my new doctor for my checkup. My records show I have Gynecomastia and that I have had a mammogram.
So I opened my shirt so he could exam me. He said WOW THEY ARE BIG, NOT D CUPS BUT BIG!
That really surprised me. He must not have seen a man with boobs before, which also surprises me. Anyway he was very professional about it of course and gave me a breast exam and told me what to look for as far as lumps and nipple soreness and discharge. He’s young so I’m sure he will one into others like me in the future. My doctor that retired told me the reason I grew boobs is because of my hormonal imbalance and just bad luck…haha

Last week it was in the 90's and 100's so I went bra less when I could.   My only complaint was in and out of A/C.  Lets just say I had two pointers leading the way.  Otherwise it's a lacy unlined bra for sure.

  I'm not a young man yet feel great.  I haven't gone down that rabbit hole to try and figure out the why.  JJ and Dude, your comments here is kinda the reason I haven't.  I have learned here and other readings done to know what true gynecomastia looks and feels like.  I do give myself breast exams and just feel the tissue there.  And I feel they are dense.  

  I enjoy the comfort of a nice bra and enjoy taking it off.  Having breast is of little concern to me.  It's alright.  I will take care of blood pressure, heart etc.  I have annual shin checks for skin cancer and my Dr. has to see the growth yet, has said nothing.

I'll just continue to be.

Dude,
That's correct. I couldn't agree more.

It appears more than not the typical experience here is idiopathic. It’s frustrating and confusing how something such as a man growing boobs can’t be identified by someone who’s been in school for 10 years then practicing medicine for longer can’t identify it. Or mitigate or correct it. 

Ive been given shrugs and reasons and nothing seemed to correct it. I eventually just quit caring. With crappy insurance and costs per visit and panel work up showing same as the last or similar enough I just felt defeated and felt it was impairing our finances more than repairing my hormones. 

I’d rather accept the fact my body just is sensitive as heck to things and long as I’m healthy overall I’ll just let what will be, be.

JJ,
 I was going with the flip of a coin between C & D by the appearance. Bingo!

I as well have spent $$$ on testing diagnose to find the cause or problem behind my gyno with no avail. So far everything is within range for for my age.
 There different doctors including endocrinologist only to be sent home with the idiopathic diagnosis.
  In the meantime.  Since I don't feel stressed about having boobs.  I'm just going to keep moving forward with accepting and adjusting to changes as time goes on.

Same. I felt a mesh bra would be more revealing but I have found a brand on Amazon I really enjoy that is very breathable in these temps that have soared here and very comfortable and covers me well in showing through

To minimise my nipple display this summer I have been wearing bras with padded cups. Unfortunately I do find these a lot more sweaty than my usual lace bras. I might try pasties instead.  Any advice how to stay comfortable in this heat?

For me an unlined bra, specifically a mesh type conceals the nips sufficiently and the material breathes.
