I had gynecomastia surgery 3 and a half month ago, it all looks fine until recently. I always massage my chest and a few day ago after the gym I felt like my right side was a bit swollen so I decided to ice pack but my chest is still pretty numb and I fell asleep with the icepack on, the next day my right nipple looked big felt a bit odd and gushy so I massaged it very very hard and pushed in on my nipple and massaged it I know I probably shouldn't have. But now my right nipple is huge and sore to touch I'm very scared I might have ruined my results, now when I try massaging it there's a bunch of little bumps I feel they feel like small circles that when I push down they slip away is this normal what should I do will it get better. I stopped massaging now because it seems to irritate it now.

There are two things you should do:
1. stop massaging
2. check with your surgeon.
