[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks, folks. It is the rubbery lump that pp also describes. Maybe we’ll just do his annual exam a little early. I don’t want to freak my son out or make him worry that if he tells me about normal puberty body worries I’ll haul him off to the doctor. But I’ll take him soon.

My son just had a body-changes-in-puberty-what-to-expect class at school and this wasn’t mentioned. I’d never heard of it and neither had my husband...but 50 percent of boys get it. Poor dudes, can you imagine worrying you are growing breasts or have cancer and not knowing it is normal? And no one tells you?[/quote]

Pp here with a 13 year old with the same issue.

I’m glad they don’t tell them every little thing. They have enough to worry about. Just tell your kid it’s normal. Call the doc and leave a message asking if she can discretely check it out at his next well visit without making it seem like something is “wrong.” We do this with sensitive stuff all the time. My dd has very different sized breasts, so I left a message for the Doc to make a note of it at the next exam, but not to mention it if what she sees isn’t a concern because I don’t want to make dd self conscious about something she isn’t.
