(Male) I'm 21 and have breast cancer?!


Question: (Male) I'm 21 and have breast cancer?
There is a lump (About the size of a pea), right above my left nipple. It's been here for about a month now, and it seems the skin layers around the lump has been peeling off. Also, the lump seems to contrast with my actual nipple (Lump is a reddish color, while my nipple is brown). Is this early signs of cancer?

Answers:

It sounds like a pimple or cyst to me. But still you should get it checked out by your GP, even if its just for peace of mind. Make an appt today!



The most common breast abnormality in men is a benign (non-cancerous) condition called gynecomastia. Gynecomastia is an increase in the amount of breast tissue. Gynecomastia is most common in teenage boys and is related to changes in the hormone balance during adolescence. A man with gynecomastia may have a button-like or disk-like growth under the nipple and areola (the pigmented region surrounding the nipple) that can be felt and often seen. Older men may also develop gynecomastia due to changes in their hormone balances. While gynecomastia is usually symmetrical (similar in both breasts), in some cases it may develop asymmetrically (one breast is more affected) or even unilaterally (only one breast is affected).

No, you are too young for Breast Cancer. If you were Over 50, that would be another story. Only then would you have something that was "Possible" To worry about.
