Lump in chest

I have a lump in my chest right below my nipple. It's been growing for a year now pretty slowly but I'm a boy.
Do you think it's normal?

There's not reason not to get it checked out, so go see your doctor. It's porbably just a cyst or something, cancer grows pretty quickly. And don't worry just because you're a boy, just because you have a lump in your chest it doesn't mean you have breast cancer. Although breast cancer is not impposible in men, Richard Roundtree, the guy who played Shaft had breast cancer. That's not a joke, you can look it up if you don't believe me.

your answer lies in two things, first listen to Rock me amadeus by falco, and then watch family guy episode "petarded". at 5:30 into the show,you will have your answer.

Lump
At about 12 I grew a lump under each nipple. The doctor said that because I was about to go through puberty and all these hormones were rushing around my body that they were small breasts!! It was breast tissue!! He said they should disappear of their own accord and they did within about 6 months.

Its probably nothing but get a doc to check it out!! Good luck.

Yes
It's normal. I had the same thing going through puberty. The lumps were hard, and when I got hit in the chest by a football or something, it fucking made me go teary eyed. Working out helps it a bit. Bench press.

See the doc, but most likely it's just breast tissue.

doctor! No actually try cutting it off with a razor blade, it works well. The bleeding should stop within a month or so.

@: Mgh123
how can you be so sure its only hormones?? you havnt seen the lump. theres the possibility that he may have cancer and here you are writing "its completely, dont worry. its only hormones" what sort of advice it that?!

to the original poster, go to the doctor just incase. im not saying that you have cancer but to be sure, get cheaked out.
