I have gynecomastia I'm sure of it and utterly embarrassed. I am currently 18 years of age since about 15 years old I've been applying bandages to cover the lump/ my puffy nipples. Now i guess the mark of the bandage has sealed to my skin. Its a black pigmentation of the bandage mark. its doesn't come off and is shinny and dark. My stupidity to hid one flaw now gave me two flaws. Now i have gynecomastia and two really embarrassing and hurtful marks on my chest. Please what should I do?

Answer: Gynecomastia I appreciate your concern, but physical exam would be helpful. However, your photo demonstrates possibly mild Gynecomastia which is usually treated by liposuction alone. The scars are small and well hidden. Insurance may or may not cover it, depends on your policy. The pigment should be treatable as well. Check out the link below to an article I wrote about Gynecomastia, as you may find it helpful. Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon in your area, good luck
