man boobs?

I have recently noticed a small sensitive lump just above my right nipple. I am a 29 year old male who keeps fit and regular uses weights. I have experimented with oral steroids in the past but i have not used them for a good 6 months. I am aware of 'man boob' side effects and although I consider my pecs to be in reasonable shape, it does concern me that the 'man boob' demon has caught up on me. Another possible catalyst for my painful lump could be from a fairly recent 'nipple twisting' episode i was victim to from my girlfriend. My nipple was fine before this. I have been to the doctors but i didnt tell him about the dabbling with steroids. He said he doesnt think its anything to worry about for now but to certainly keep an eye on it and see him if it gets any worse,

thanks, new10

If I were you, I'd have it looked at by your medical professional.  Breast cancer is common in men these days, and early detection is the key to survival.  Go get it looked at....if its nothing, then you have no worries.  If it is something, you can devise a plan of attack with your health care professional.  P.S.  Dont be afraid to see another professional for a second or third opinion either.  Cancer is kind of serious....

The condition of "Male Breasts" is named Gynecomastia. It is belived that Gynecomastia is a result of pubery and may dissapear as a man grows older. Surgery is the last resort. To learn more, go Google.
