Does Nipples Enlarge During Puberty In Boys?

Q : Well, I m a 14 year old boy and lately as I grew up I noticed that my nipples have grown rather big. I m only making a fuss out of it because Im very skinny, and tall. It looks rather weird on me. I have not asked a doctor yet, and I m also very active in Sports. I have no idea if it s puberty or something else. Please answer, Thanks.

Dear,
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. It doesn't happen to every guy, but one of these changes can be the development of breast tissue. It's called gynecomastia and it's completely normal and almost always temporary.

As this condition is almost always normal and temporary, there is nothing to worry about. You should continue doing your exercises and outdoor games so that your chest muscles become hard and expanded. Sooner your complaints will vanish.

Good luck. Happy New Year. Take care.
