Asked By:deepakrai in Delhi, IA

At the age of 14, I realized that I have a slight male boobs which was quite embarrassing. I am 30 now and i still feel that they are bigger. Hence, I feel ashamed taking my T shirt off in public. Though I am hairy, and it gets kind of camouflaged, but when i wear slightly tight T shirts, my nipples are very prominently visible (pointing). I showed it to a surgeon who said that its not gynaecomestia coz muscle tissues are back there and there is no fat. But its really harming my self confidence.
