Can you tell him that he won't get breasts (obviously) but that hormones at his age do all sorts of things to change his body and it is simply a part of that, he doesn't need details of what or why especially if you think he will freak out, just tell him it's a part of his normal development and that it should pass soon xoxo
I think that would be a good way to talk about it Tanstar. I've already had him ask me if I could see some hair on certain appendages (job for dad that one) so I'm sure he is aware of the changes that boys go through at this age.
When he was putting on his backpack to leave for school he must have knocked it because he said it still hurt. Then he held the strap off his chest so it wouldn't rub. Poor kid!
If he has grown taller, it could be his nipple is in the right (wrong) position now so it rubs now whereas it didnt previously. I just thought as it's just one nipple, it could be an external irritant causing the problem???
We had an issue with nipple rubbing earlier in the year with DD. It as the logo on her school tshirt. I bought her a crop top and some singlets to wear under which helped.
