Hi Flyingwings, glad to know you’re going to make an appointment with the doc, any changes in breast tissue whether you are male or female need checking out. I’ m no expert so cannot say if it’s BC or not, you just need to get it checked out. Your doctor will possibly refer you to a breast clinic at your local hospital. If you would like to talk to some guys about your symptoms go to the Talk to People Like Me section of the forum where you will find a section specifically for men. Best wishes, take care, Pat.
