Hello Dr. Bermant,
I've registered to this (a different) forum because I've seen your posts and they've been very helpful and so I'd like to get your opinion on my case. I understand you've retired but I'd be really grateful if you could help me with my case, as I just don't trust a regular GP doctor, especially in the UK.
For me, my case is very mild I would say. I haven't gotten into bodybuilding, and have quite a small frame. I wish to develop my chest more, and was wondering if this would worsen the effect of the gyno, or it could help the contour appear more manly, because as of yet I have never trained my chest and I'd imagine without the gyno I'd be extremely flat-chested. The main area of gland feels as if it is under the nipple, and the skin around it is obviously larger to account for the gland. It is quite rounded, not particularly pointy, and it's a lot better with erect nipples.
I can provide pictures if needed, according to the rules of the pictures of your website.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Thank you!

I have worked with many
Bodybuilders with Gyno over the years. They consistently had told me that as they built their muscles, what sat on top of the muscles got pushed out further.
It does not take much to ruin the cut look of the male chest. Subtle
Puffy Nipple Gynecomastia is one such example of a small amount of breast tissue interfering with a male contour.
