Hey guys, I've suffered from puffy nipples since puberty and told my doctor about it last week. He told me it is gynecomastia, even though there are not "hard lumps" inside, but it definitely isn't just fat. He talked to a endrocrinologist and prescribed me a topical DHT gel called Andractim.
My expectations aren't very high for it, but lets give it a try!
Please tell me if you're interested and I'll post pictures and reports of how it works.
I'm applying the gel on my nipples, 2.5 grams for each once a day. That amount is quite big and to me it would make more sense to put half in the morning and other half in the evening, what do you think?
Now it's Day 3 and no effects yet.
When medication is used to counteract the swelling component of hormone stimulated gland, the effects are slow. Give it time to understand what will happen.
Before and after pictures are a great way to document any form of gynecomastia treatment, both surgical and medical. I find it intriguing that over the years of searching for it, I just have
never seen such documentation for Andractim DHT gel. The trick is to standardize the images so that the before and after differences are only from the treatment method. The views should especially include flexing, arms up over head the obliques and the other conditions discussed on this post:
https://www.gynecomastia.org/smf/index.php?topic=21593.msg146259;topicseen#msg146259To further refine the different types of gynecomastia male chest contour issues I have found that additional views can be more critical so there are different sets for gynecomastia, after gynecomastia surgery, and loose skin issues of the male chest. It would be too confusing to make all patients coming to me to have all views that are useful for the most extreme issues with scar issues from prior surgery or loose skin problems. Videos are even more revealing but harder to make and standardize. Over the past few years however, some patients coming to me have actually also sent my standard video views. That additional information was awesome in understanding the contour and how tissue move issues.
But back to the original question, to better understand if a method works look for examples, documentation, and proof. Be wary when none are offered or other excuses given.
Hope this helps,
