Hi,,
It may seem to be either a BREAST ABSCESS or PHYsIOLOGICAL BREAST DEVELOPMENT (which occurs during puberty). Kindly let me know of your age and weight.
Yes, Breast Abscess occurs in males too.
You may take a mild painkiller like PARACETAMOL 650 mg.
If you have fever, you may need an antibiotic.
