Answer
Since you are 1. male and 2. only 30 your risk of anything malignant there is small. But since I for obvious reasons can not examine you myself I do suggest that you should let a doctor check it. It may be a case of normal fibroadenomatosis only which can happen in males too and which is not dangerous. But without an examination we can not be sure so please have one!
