Age 16, Do I Have Tuberous Breasts?

June 12, 2013
Asked By:Sallyhut

I'm 16 and since the age of 13 and a half I have always had irregular looking breasts. I thought they would just develop normally over time but so far my nipples have remained puffy and pointy. However when I'm cold they go hard which makes them look normal. But in saying this the overall shape of my breasts still remains irregular. On top of this I have next to no tissue under my nipple. My breasts are also very spaced apart.
