Will Using Castor Oil Treat Gynecomastia?
I saw this on a site and was wondering if it would work regarding gynecomastia. I'm obviously skeptical but I figured it was worth a try to ask:
"My buddies doctor friend said to use CASTOR oil and gauze pads! heat just a little of the oil in a pan then soak the gauze pads in the oil, then put the pads on your chest over the nipples. Then put a heating pad over the entire chest area. He said to do it twice a day for 10 minutes for two or three weeks. He also said to be prepared to see some "NASTY ". He said the Castor oil breaks up the fatty tissue " " and draws it out threw the pores in the skin. He said it will look like puss. But he also said it works well."
So any opinions?

HI
Well come to HCM
Gynecomastia is condition happens because of high level of estrogen hormone in male but this comes around as the patient grow old, if this does not comes to normal then this may need some treatment and medicine but prior to this some blood work is necessary, here no oil or anything would work and should never be tried, hope this helps take care.
