Noticed Tenderness And Lump Formation On Nipples
I'm a 22 year old male who has recently noticed that my nipples are tender. It feels like I'm going through puberty. They have small hard lumps it them that are tender to the touch. Could this be hormonal or could it also be related to testicular cancer ? Please let me know !

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you are having infection mostly. As tenderness and swelling suggest inflammation.
So better to consult dermatologist and get done clinical examination.
And no need to worry for prostate cancer as it is common in old age and not at your age. You are too young to have prostate cancer. So better to stop worrying about it.
And hormonal imbalance can be another probability. But infection appears more.
