Purple Nurples are Dangerous
Geez, this doctor is nannyish enough to be the Surgeon General.
Dr. Oscar Escobar, of Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, recently treated two adolescent boys with breast enlargement, and there appeared to be a connection.Maybe this will finally convince my brother to quit introducing me to "Ned."The boys were not related, but they came to the doctor with the same history: Both were involved in a popular, prankish game in which boys twist one another's nipples.
"I think that may have produced some mechanical triggering, or irritation, that can be implicated in the genesis of their gynecomastia," Escobar said. "Something like that can induce breast development, and it absolutely should be discouraged."
