Evening All, Could The Lump Behing My 16 Yr Old Sons Nipple Be Hormone Related?

Hard lump, no discomfort etc? will get him checked at GP anyhow, but thoughts on this appreciated.
Thank you

I would have expected it to be both, if hormone related. But hopefully doctor will put his mind at rest x

Yes almost certainly hormone related......not at all uncommon in teenagers.

Thanks Pixie and of course Sqad, will get him checked thought it wld be

I would think so (hormone related) alinic
When my younger son was about 13/14 I think he was worried he was turning into a girl as one of his breasts was quite swollen and the other was showing signs! I told him it was normal and probably something called gynaecomastica (not sure of spelling without Googling) but it took a visit to the GP to convince him (what does mum know?!)
Over the next year or so they both looked normal

Hi i had exactly the same as your son at 15. I can clearly remember it.. Young ladies also have this problem..

my son had one at 15.....it gradually went away and nothing sinister. see his gp and get it checked out, but be reassured it is fairly common and will probably resolve itself. support your son by letting him know these things happen and everybody gets weird lumps, bumps and thingywhatsits every now and then x
