most helpful answer i'm sorry you're going through this. as a former plastic surgery nurse i've worked with many young men who have the issues you describe. i'd like to suggest you get your parent(s) to take you for a visit to your primary care provider. you can request to be seen privately (without your parent in the room) if that would make you more comfortable. show your health care provider your chest so he or she can determine if you have a condition called gynecomastia. it's not uncommon in young men. gynecomastia is an overgrowth of breast tissue in boys. it can be caused by the hormonal changes of puberty. if your health care provider suspects you have gynecomastia he or she may run a few blood tests to check your hormone levels. gynecomastia is treated with surgery. generally a small incision is made around the nipple and the excess breast tissue is removed. a few stitches close the incision. of course other conditions can cause enlarged breasts in adolescent boys. your health care provider can make an accurate diagnosis and get you the appropriate care or treatment. best wishes to you! i want to kill myself male breast

(20 lbs underweight). since i was 14 my pecktoral region has been swollen and i have found nothing to help it. it is embarrasing when going swimming or doing activities teenage boys do that involve taking off their shirt.
