Brief Answer:
About gynecomastia:
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
The inflammation of the nipples is found often in gynecomastia. From the attached picture, gynecomastia is proeminent and you mentioned that it has been present since 8 years ago.
Medications are more effective in reducing gynecomastia in the early stages since scarring often occurs after about 12 months.
After the tissue has become scarred, medications are not likely to be effective, and surgical removal is the only possible treatment. So, you should see an experienced surgeon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
