well When you go thorugh puberty. It might look like you are growing breast because the nipples are swealling but after time they will get back to normal.

Some boys do get swollen breasts during puberty which go away of there own accord. I'm no expert on this, but I would expect the swelling to be under the nipple not a bump to one side of the nipple. If I were you I would probably get my doctor to check it out just to be sure.

What you describe is quite normal for guys in puberty, and it is called Gynecomastia. All humans have hormones of both sexes in their bodies with obviously males have a dominance of male hormones and females have a dominance of female ones. What happens during puberty is that our hormones get out of whack temporarily, and things like "man boobs" do appear. In nearly all cases such things are temporary, and you will outgrow them. I know it can be truly distressing seeing something like breasts developing, but you are not abnormal as so many guys have that problem. I know you are going to hate hearing this, but you have to be patient as things will settle down. All you need to do is to eat right (www.mypyramid.gov), exercise in moderation, and stay away from bad stuff such as drugs and alcohol as you do have control over those things.

From my experience, guys who have had Gynecomastia ended up being fine and looked really attractive once they were done with puberty.

Sometime its because of estrogen...I had a lump in my man-breast and the doc said it was because guys produce 1/100 of the ammount of estrogen women do...so that COULD cause it

It's natural
It's puberty.
Nothing to worry about, it's hormones being whack.
