Puffy Nipple can defined as abnormally large projection of the skin that contains outlets for lactiferous ducts which are placed cylindrically around the tip of male breasts. Nipples don't have a role in a male, unlike in women like breast feeding.

The skin of the nipple is rich in a supply of special nerves that are sensitive to certain stimuli.
For a large majority of men, nipples don't change much 14 weeks after conception. Until about 14 weeks after conception, all fetuses look the same, regardless of sex. However, in some males, fatty tissue around the nipples develops into something similar to a female breast. Puffy nipples are associated with large boobs.The major reason for such a condition is dropping of testosterone to low levels. Folowing are the causes:
medications

and natural hormonal changes caused by
aging
