    Question

    I'm in puberty. It looks like I have breasts and I'm a guy. How long will I have them and how can I make them go away?

    Answer

    Everyone is different, but please do make an appointment to talk with your doctor about the changes and get confirmation that it is normal and all is well, even if not much fun some days. Thick cotton shirts that are not too tight will help.
