Asked By:missambi in San Leandro, CA

My Dr said he only glued my nipples back on because sowing them was causing blisters. They have not healed correctly . They are very puffy/bubbly and stick out through every shirt. Is there a way to correct this. I feel like I have tuberculosis!! I wish I would have never touched my nipples.
