Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If your nipple is enlarged than it is called gynaecothelia. If the chest area surrounding the nipple is enlarged than called gynaecomastia. Both conditions are abnormal. It may be without any cause, or hereditary or hormonal induced.You should consult the surgeon and get proper investigations and than possible treatment. Surgery may be done to reduce the size of nipple after proper evaluation.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
