Endocrinologist,  's  Response
Good day,
First of all, we need to check if you have gynecomastia or lipomastia ( fat accumulation). You may need to see an endocrinologist to assess your hormone status. At your age, a true gynecomastia may indicate hormonal issues and no treatment is recommended with out evaluating for the cause.
