I'd send him to the doctors just to put both of your minds at rest.

DH had a breast lump a year or so ago. He said his nipple was sore and we joked about 'jogger's nipple' (a joke because of his very sedendary lifestyle due to his arthritis) but when I examined it I felt a lump straight away.

GP referred him to a specialist but before the appointment date arrived, the lump disappeared on its own. (Which may or may not have been because I was worried and so treated him nightly with Reiki).

There is a beneign condition starting with g G (I would Google it but Lost coming on.. will come back and do it if nobody else knows first!) that men can get.

You must get him to go to a gp tomorrow,do not leave it.

my MIL got mastitis way after sshe had her youngest child (DH) and the doctor said that you can get it just by knocking your breast, so I guess men can get it too
