I'm a 22-year-old male, and I've recently noticed that my nipples are puffy. When I press them, I can feel a lot of lumps underneathsome are small, some are big, flat, or even pointed, and they're quite painful. Should I be worried about this? Is there something specific I should do or look out for?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called gynecomastia, which is the swelling of breast tissue in boys or men caused by an imbalance of the hormones estrogen and testosterone. In your case, the presence of painful lumps in both nipples could indicate a more severe form of gynecomastia. I recommend you to take Ibuprofen 400mg twice a day for pain relief and to reduce inflammation. Additionally, you can use a topical pain relief gel like Voltaren gel on the affected area. However, it is important to consult with a doctor for further evaluation and management of your condition.

Is it safe for her to keep taking Cordarone with this thyroid issue?

Yes, there are non-surgical treatments for gynecomastia, including addressing underlying causes, medication adjustments, and lifestyle changes. If your gynecomastia is due to an underlying medical condition or medication, treating those issues can help resolve the breast enlargement.
