It's not really a malady...but he may actually only have 4 nipples, not 4 breasts. They are called auxillary nipples...and it's not as uncommon as you might think. When we're forming, we often have little oddities...some of them self correct as we develop into fetuses, some don't. Look at it this way...when identical twins are made, this is really a fertilized cell that split into 2 separate organisms...now that's much more extreme than an extra nipple or 2.

You are apparantly sending him mixed messages...which says he's probably confused as well.  Perhaps you all should pray a little more, when you're at church....rather than play games.  And dont worry about a lift up bra, until you're old enough for it to do some good.  :)

He will talk to you and examine your breast. Depends on his findings and your age he could ask for ultrasound scan or mammogram or he could put a needle in the breast if he finds a lump.\nBreast pain is common and usually not a serious problem.\nGood luck

"Modelling photos on his website show that he has a third nipple below his left breast."\nhttp://www.absoluteastronomy.com/enc1/mark_wahlberg\n\nhttp://markwahlberg.com/view.shtml?/mark/images/general/markchestshot.jpg\n\n\n.. a guy I used to work with bet be $100 bucks that men can have extra nipples.  I said, 'you're on!'  .. he lifted his shirt and showed me his set of four.  I lost the bet .. and 'ewww'\n\nThey're called supernumerary nipples

He displays more feminine qualities than masculine ones. I just think he hasn't been exposed to sex, hanging out, just being less uptight. He probably has been sheltered and just hasn't came out of it yet. He needs to though, it is not cool to be this old and not acting mature. As for the females, he might just be intimidated by them, but as for acting like a mature college student, he needs to grow up, he is a bad role model for the children he babysits.

Mammillae are standard issue and develop before the sex chromosomes x and y kick in.\n\nAnd that's why men have nipples.

Funny you asked - my friend had a breast enlargement 4  weeks ago - she left her partner of 18 months last week.\nIt had been coming for a while though.\nAs a rule though i wouldnt say that many.

it sounds like milk to me, which should not form without a pregnancy but it can happen when you have an overload of hormones, you should see a doctor, and you should stop having sex until you do. breast cancer doesnt happen because you have been pregnant or have taken medicine. it happens to anyone at any age , even men, and no one really knows why,

Some guys have larger areolas [the "red circles"], as they range from very small to large.  Nipple sizes on guys vary, too.  Usually gynecomastia refers to the actual breast area.... refer to the link below, as it has some information that you may find useful and informative.

Without Nipples the Male Chest Looks Strange.  The nipples provide a focus point for the male chest. They direct the eye to the curve of the pectoral muscle. \n\nMen and women are mammals (from the Latin mamma breast) a species that have breasts and feeds its young with milk. The human embryo has tissue that will evolve into breasts. Both male and female babies are born with nipples and ducts intact. It is the presence of genes that direct hormones to differentiate the breast tissue. The Y chromosome stimulates hormones such as testosterone to form male features.\n\nInsufficient or defective testosterone, poor tissue responsiveness, or an unbalance of other hormones like Estrogen and Prolactin can cause female like breasts even in men (Gynecomastia). At birth, the small amount of the mother's estrogen in the baby can result in small breasts that usually resolve. There can be an inbalance of hormones during male puberty that can result in temporary breast growth, which for most resolves. There are many medical problems and drugs that can cause male breast growth. \n \nThe nipple is actually the central protrusion inside of the pigmented areola. There is a thin muscle just under the skin that when stimulated, tends to flatten the puffed male nipple areola. This muscle when stimulated in a breast feeding woman, projects the nipple for the baby. Nerves that innervate the nipple / areola can produce pleasure for both men and women.

I LOVE IT!!!!!!\n\nI love manly men! If you want a man with no hair on his chest, then why don't you just date twelve year old boys?\n\nI love to run my fingers through it. :)\n\nIt grosses me out to see a full grown main without a speck of hair on his chest, or back for that matter.... it is un-natural and pre-pubescent. I'm not into children!\n\nThe grossest, when a guy shaves or waxes body hair, and it grows back in... and it's all red bumps like in-grown hairs, and it's prickly. I was with a guy once who shaved his chest, and I couldn't stand the way it rubbed me... ew talk about stubble burn!!\nSorry if that offends anyone.... just my opinion!

I am assuming that you are a female and your mate is a male.  If this is the case here is my answer.  I am a 40 yr old man, and I have had a lot of expirience in this category.  If the problem is not medical I can almost guarentee that this will help... you cannot have any inhibitions!  You must convey to him that you are as into what is going on as possible.  There is nothing more exciting for a man who loves his patrner that to see her turned on.

If you don't want to go and report him, then return the favour and grab him by the balls just as hard. Most of us men don't relaise just how sensitive the breast is and treat it like we do our own dick. Either report him to a teacher, grab him by the balls and squeeze or get a big football player friend to take him out back and give him the ass kicking he deserves.

NOT NORMAL!!!! Go back to your doctor ASAP and if he still says nothing wrong, get a second opinion!  Your breasts are precious. Enough said.

from: http://www.webmd.com/hw/mens_conditions/tp21165.asp\n\nThe overdevelopment of the male breast. The glandular tissue of the breast swells, usually in response to an excess of the female hormone estrogen or a lack of testosterone, a male hormone.\n\nWhen gynecomastia occurs in adult males, it is usually caused by an underlying condition, such as liver or lung cancer, cirrhosis of the liver, overactive thyroid, or hormone problems, such as cancer of the pituitary gland, adrenal glands, or testicles. Alcohol, marijuana, methamphetamine, and heroin use also may cause gynecomastia.\n\nUse of certain medications may also cause gynecomastia, including:\n\n    * Steroids, such as prednisone or Hexadrol.\n    * Medications used to treat ulcers (such as cimetidine).\n    * Medications used to treat epilepsy (such as phenytoin [Dilantin]).\n    * Digitalis and other heart medications.\n    * Chemotherapy drugs, especially alkylating agents, a family of anticancer drugs that interfere with cells' DNA and inhibit cancer cell growth.\n    * Antiandrogen drugs (such as flutamide, cyproterone, and spironolactone).\n    * Antianxiety and antidepressant medications (such as diazepam [Valium] and tricyclic antidepressants).\n\n\nGynecomastia in babies and adolescents normally does not require treatment and will usually resolve on its own. If caused by medication or disease, stopping the medication or treating the disease will often cure the gynecomastia. If caused by a lack of testosterone and increase in estrogen, hormonal treatment may be prescribed.
