Aditya Singh, a 28-year-old male graduate...
Aditya Singh, a 28-year-old male graduate student, developed a sudden, painless, violet-colored patch around his right nipple. As a fit and health-conscious individual, he found it alarming and deeply embarrassing, struggling to discuss it even with his partner. He had no other symptoms. After weeks of worry, he saw his GP, who referred him to a gynecologist specializing in breast health due to the unusual presentation. The gynecologist, Dr. Sharma, noted the well-demarcated discoloration and suspected Mondor's disease (thrombophlebitis of a superficial breast vein) or a vascular lesion. She recommended a clinical diagnosis with a possible follow-up ultrasound if it persisted. The diagnosis was clinical, involving a physical exam which Aditya found intensely uncomfortable but necessary. Dr. Sharma diagnosed it as a benign vascular skin change, possibly triggered by friction from his new exercise gear. The discoloration faded over six weeks with topical anti-inflammatory cream. Aditya's journey moved from shame and isolation to relief. He became an advocate for men's breast health awareness among his peers, breaking the stigma he initially felt.
