Brief Answer:
As discussed in details below.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query and clear pictures.
To recapitulate: Male/30 - bulge at breast area - suspect normal Gynecomastia - wants to know how to get rid of it...
Please do a self check and tell me the findings:
First of all put a flat of the pals and see if you can palpate a well circumscribed lump other than the normal fat.
Secondly try to catch hold the area with fingers and see if you can feel a separate lymph.
These two tests can tell whether this is a gynecomastia or accumulation of fat alone.
Ultrasonography of the area can help further.
If this is Gynecomastia, only surgical removal can cure it.
If this is accumulation of fat, it can be removed surgically or by liposuction.
If this is due to obesity, reduction of the body fat by diet control and increasing exercises can help to reduce this.
I hope this answer helps you, please feel free to give feedback and ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
