Question

I've had hard lumps in my chest since I was a kid, and I recently read online that it could be gynecomastia or just chest fat. I'm really confused and worried about this. How can I tell if it's actually gynecomastia or just chest fat? Also, is there any way to treat gynecomastia naturally? I'm really stressed about this because surgery and pills seem way too expensive for me. I feel embarrassed around my friends and it's affecting my mood. Can you give me some advice?

Question

I'm feeling this painful lump on my chest that really hurts when I press on it. I noticed that the muscle there feels uneven and doesn't seem normal compared to the other side. My right chest even looks bigger and kind of more girlish, with a darker brownish-pink color compared to the left side, which seems normal. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing these changes?
