Answers:
Yes it's because of puberty!. It's Normal!.
Because when your hormones are raging, it's normal for guys to develop this kind of lumps under their nipple!. But by the end of puberty it usually dissapears!.

In fact during puberty About 50% of boys will experience lumps and tenderness under one or both breast nipples which can last up to 18 months!. It is often noticeable enough to make them wonder if they are growing boobs!
This condition is called: Gynecomastia!.

So I don't think that you should worry about this at all!.
It's normal, Don't worry about it!.
Because This Lump that you have right now on your left nipple will eventually dissappear!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

More than likely it's something simple; a cyst, a deep pimple, an ingrown hair!. However, you should see a doctor immediately!. I don't want to scare you, but it is very important; males can get breast cancer!. I know it sounds odd, but even Montel Williams, the talk show host had it!.

As I said, it is probably something simple, but just in case, and for your own peace of mind see a doctor as soon as possible!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

does it become shaped like a dome and kind of puffy!? does it go back to normal if you get cold!?
it might be gynecomastia!. it'll go away!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Anytime you are concerned about anything with your body you should always talk with your parents and/or medical doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
