What Is The Cause Of Nipple Puffiness Post Puberty?
Hi, My son, who is now 21 years old, still has some puffiness around his nipples from puberty. Of course, the tenderness which occurred early on in the puberty days has vanished. But he is a little self-conscience concerning the existing puffiness, especially since he is about to be married. My question to you would be what is the approximate maximum age at which the puffiness can be expected to leave? Thanks, Scott
