First of all, carefully examine your breasts standing in front of the mirror.You can visit any of the sites that describe self breast examination. If there is a lump palpable then immediately consult an oncologist even if he's a male. If there is no lump, then get an ultrasound or mammogram of the breast done. If it is normal, then there is nothing to worry about. Just keep the area under surveillance. It will most likely disappear.
