"Signs and symptoms of breast cancer may include:
■A breast lump or thickening that feels different from the surrounding tissue
■Bloody discharge from the nipple
■Change in the size or shape of a breast
■Changes to the skin over the breast, such as dimpling
■Inverted nipple
■Peeling or flaking of the nipple skin
■Redness or pitting of the skin over your breast, like the skin of an orange"
Most breast lumps in men are a condition called gynaecomastia; this is button-like growth under the nipple and areola area that can be felt and is sometimes visible to the naked eye; occasionally it can be sore or tender.
This increase in the amount of breast tissue is not a tumour; it often occurs due to changes in hormone balances at times like adolescence, but it can happen at any age.
It's normal, it's not cancer, and it's temporary.
Men do get breast cancer, but fewer than 1% of those diagnosed with breast cancer are male. You don't say how old you are; most men diagnosed with breast cancer are over 60. Through breast cancer support networks, I've met a few men with breast cancer in their 50s and late 40s, but that's rare.
80% of all people diagnosed with breast cancer are over 50. It's rare in women under 40, fewer than 0.1% of women diagnosed are under 30, and it's almost unheard of in women under 25.
The youngest man ever to be diagnosed with breast cancer anywhere in the world was 24; his case made news because he was the youngest by several years.
It could be something simple, BUT males do get breast cancer, albeit rare. Breast cancer presents itself as a lump. You should have this investigated by a doctor.
I would go to the Doctor if I were you. U can try this but I doubt it will tell you what a Dr. could.

Heart cancer is among the rarest cancers there are and less than 10% of all cancers are hereditary. If heart cancer ran strong in your family someone would be studying you and it would have nothing to do with breast cancer. Most men who get breast cancer are over 60. There is no way to tell what it is from here so see your doctor. It is not very likely to be cancer, but you should not be in pain. I could be a clogged duct, a cyst, anything.
