I'm two months post op after Gynecomastia Surgery. I had a minor case of Gyno with glandular tissue beneath each nipple but the surgeon felt it best to just do Lipo. Right under my nipple is VERY sensitive to the touch - painful - i can't even sleep on it yet and the small glandular tissue that was there seems even more pronounced and possibly swollen. My surgeon prescribed Betamethasone Dipropionate topical ointment. I wanted to check in with you guys before using it. Will it help ?
