I am a 17 year old male, and have had an issue for about 3 months now. At first it was just an eczema like rash that itched sometimes on my nipple that came and went but then a couple weeks ago I felt what I thought were lumps under the skin. I went to the doctor last week and he said I had gynecomastia and shouldn't be worried, but now my nipple is bleeding a little bit and I read that 75% of male bloody discharges means cancer. I know how rare it is for someone my age to get this, but should I be worried? What should I do?

    Thanks for posting LAL989. Whenever you have symptoms, it is really best to have it looked at by a professional physician who can see it, and make suggestions to you. 

    We wish you the best, and hope you get an appointment soon. This will help to ease your concerns. 

    Best,
