Answers:
Most breast lumps in males are a condition called gynaecomastia, a button-like growth under the nipple and areola area that can be felt and is sometimes visible to the naked eye!. Occasionally it can be quite tender!.

This increase in the amount of breast tissue is not a tumour and occurs due to changes in hormone balances at times like adolescence - that is, at your age!.

This is very likely what you have; you should see your doctor for reassurance!.

The chances of a 14 year old male getting breast cancer are as close to zero as makes no difference!.

Men do get breast cancer, but fewer than 1% of those diagnosed with breast cancer are male!.

And 80% of all people diagnosed with cancer are over 50; most men diagnosed with it are over 60!.

It's rare in women under 40, and almost unheard of in under 20s!.

So you can see how huge the odds against a 14 year old male getting breast cancer are!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
