I just looked at myself in the mirror and noticed something I hadn't noticed before.  On my right nipple, right below the center of the nipple is this elongated growth.  Is this normal for a twenty-eight year old man?

    This is a skin tag. They are harmless and can be anoying. If it bothers you go see a skin doctor and they can freeze it off.

    A skin tag you can buy skin tag removel oil from online or Hollands and Barrets if in uk and put it on each morning and it will eventually fall of skin tags can grow where it gets more hot or clothes rub and where fat grows so I wouldn't worry unless you get loads but easily treated or like another said freeze it of I have one on my neck a little one but it dosnt bother me I no loads of ppl who have them can also be caused threw waxing and shaving to but I guess in the place yours is that's not the case lol xx

      i have this exact anomaly in the exact area that you do and have had it for a few years, but on the left nipple (amab) i finally worked up the courage to see what was really going on there and im relieved to find out its a skin tag and not a lesion or cancer growth of some kind ajajaj

    I looks like a skin tag to me. Usually caused by friction to the area.

      You can also tie a piece of hair around it tight enough to cut off blood circulation. It will fall off on its own within a week.
