For me, when I get a flare up, I start feeling pain in my nipples and they MAY get a little bit itchy. Next thing you know, you feel a small mass about the size of a grain of rice. It's painful to the touch, but not exactly a HARD mass, it's similar to a cyst or an inflamed lymph nodule. Then it continues to grow if not handled right away and can become the size of a quarter.
Some times I get more than 1 lump under the same aureola, and then they end up joining together into one big mass. The longer you have it, the more hard it becomes and eventually it can calcify.
But from my experience, no gyno is irreversible. I have reversed gyno to nothing so many times that I don't even sweat about it. Oh yeah, and your nipples because very puffy, almost similar to female nipples. It's VERY embarrassing, this is what bugs me about gyno so much
There is no set rule for the location of the gyno. It can be directly under the nipple, off to either side... etc... anywhere that is related to your mammary gland can develop a mass. Which I have found out the hard way so many times now.
