I had gynecomastia surgery two weeks ago. I wear the compression garments at all times only taking off to wash/change garments. In between i apply neosporin and massage gently and redress in garments. when taking off the under garments the dark scabbing part of my nipples usually stick and pull off, i thought nothing of it, they never bothered me but today i noticed a discoloration that looks like fat in the areola section of my right nipple. Is this necrosis, should i apply sterile dressings?
