My thirteen year old had this and the doctor said it was a swollen gland. Best get the doctor to check him out though!

He may have an infection in the nipple. Since it has been a week, I think it is time you take him to a doctor.

yes during the puberty stage it is a factor

Just to be on the safe side I would have a doctor check it out. Also check out www.ask.com and type in your question. Good luck

I think that's normal. He's just going through the puberty stage.

If it gets worse, I suggest you consult a doctor. It might be an infection or something.

never, never and never.

Not sure, but my Auntie always told me to always pay attention around the nipple area, and that if anything didnt look normal, to get it checked out. So I would see a doctor if I were you.

its call PUBERTY. Just sing him 'My Humps' when he goes to bed.
