I am athletic and pretty active as I play golf, basketball, and soccer. They are not really bad but are noticible. I keep thinking that they will go away but it just hasn't happened. I am very embarassed by this and am wondering if there is anything that I can do to get rid of them. Any tips?

(he's almost 18), However I haven't.. yet. There's actually a medical term that its called.. I'd have to look for it. When that happened to me I was extremely embarassed so I asked my doctor and he gave me all these resources.. but ever since I started lifting bench press has sort of build my chest up and so it's not as noticable. I'm not sure of what else you can do, but it will go away in time. (Youve probably already heard that).
