My doctor gave me SSD, a cream with silver in it to aid in the healing of my right breast nipple. Is this normal?

I had a breast reduction 3 wks ago. 1st week post op, I noticed the nipple was not healing well and there was some small drainage every day near the rim of my areola. My PS checked the blood supply and it was good. He gave me an antibiotic ointment and told me to keep the area clean w/ soap and water. 2 wks post op, no change. He gave me the SSD cream to apply 1x a day. Four days after using the cream and I really don't see any difference and some skin is now missing. Is this normal?
