I am 14 years old and i have inverted nipples is this normal and is there anything i can do to get rid of them?

If you do not want surgery and they are not too big and if you have other neurological conditions what othere alternatives are there. The vest looks too restrictive and the Japanese man bras have underwire support. We have searched the net and found last night's programme did not give us enough information.

in reply to bradley's message, press ups are a good way to help reduce the size of man boobs, also swimming can help too.
