I have a visible lump under my middle toe on my left foot and a non visible lump behind my left nipple?

Im a 16 year old male, between average and obese in weight (If that is in any way important...) The toe lump is on my left foot and is under my middle toe, on the first part, not the end of the toe, sorta under the bone. The veins go OVER the lump, its hard to touch but I cant slightly move it...It isnt sore at all, I only noticed it because it looked odd. I have a flashlight on my phone and when held to one side of the lump It is very white, when done to normal skin you just see a pinkish red glow, but for the lump it is very white, as if its a pocket of hard liquid? Maybe? (fingernail wide and probly like 5 -8? cms tall). Now the nipple one worries me a bit more, I first noticed it when I got friend punched on my nipple and it hurt a bit (not ALOT), it came and went in about a month...its back now. its just like a lump, it only hurts when bothered. It kinda clicks if squezzed a bit, at times it isnt noticable when touched, but others it is. I couldnt really describe how it feels..

The lump on your toe really needs to be looked at. It does not sound like a joint problem. You may have accidentally injured it at one time, possibly broke it and that is how it healed. The spot on your nipple also should be looked at. It may be just scar tissue from the pinch, but it should not hurt. It is possible for men to get breast cancer. Don't take these problems lightly. They could be simple to solve, but you never know. SEE MD.
Reply:Have you told your parents about these lumps? If not, please tell them and get to the doctor as soon as possible. They may be nothing but it is better to be safe than sorry. It is not unheard of for a man to get breast cancer. I am not sure what to make of the lump on your toe. Just get them check out.


Good Luck,

Reply:See doctor,men can get breast cancer.And the lump on your toe may get bigger and make it hard to move toe later.And be harder to remove if bigger.Could also cause more problems at later date,when you get older.Find out what it is.
Reply:gawdd please go to the dr.....best thing to do
Reply:it is normal for some males to have a small unseeable hard bit in the nipple area (you seem to have it exactly where i have mine) however its important to know exactly what it is, therefore you'd be best going to a doctor for reasurance. when i went to a doctor for the same thing i was assured it was a normal part of puberty, but it helps to be checked out just the same.





the clicking and such may be explained by the impact you had rupturing a few veins, which may make it a little bit sore.





the foot lump sounds like it may be a ferruca, or something similar. if you can, try slowly using a pin to pierce the surface ( just take the top of the skin off, dont bluntly puncture it) then try squeezing around the area. sometimes dirt can be trapped underneath the skin and cause mild infections, which would be similar to what you describe.





overall i'd say you'd be best seeing a doctor for reassurance, but for now you shouldn't really worry too much about either of these.
