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?

Is gynecomastia treatable without surgery and if surgery is the only option could it cause any issues later on

Gynecomastia can sometimes be treated without surgery using medications like tamoxifen or raloxifene, especially if it's hormone-related. However, if surgery is necessary, complications are rare but may include changes in nipple sensation, scarring, or asymmetry. A qualified plastic surgeon can assess your case.
