Answer 1

While very minor looking, it sounds like a slight case of gynecomastia.  It is related to your hormones and will go away with time.

"The condition can occur physiologically in neonates (due to female hormones from the mother), in adolescence, and in the elderly. In adolescent boys the condition is often a source of distress, but for the large majority of boys whose pubertal gynecomastia is not due to obesity, the breast development shrinks or disappears within a couple of years".

Short of waiting it out, the next solution is surgery.  Might be a bit drastic at this point, but if you continue to have concerns, see your doctor for an opinion or referral.

Good luck     Peace

Answer 5

all it is , is puberty it will go away in a few weeks to a months its very normal and happens to me all the time.sometimes one will puff up and the other one won't. also one will feel more sensitive than the other. there is nothing to worry about.

I found taking my shirt off when i was in my room helps because they doesn't rub up against my shirt.
