I've been having nipple erection, and they seem really puffy. I'm worried it might be gynecomastia or something like that. Whenever I wear t-shirts, my nipples stick out and it's super embarrassing. A pulmonologist suggested I take Augmentin 625mg twice a day and Rantac 150mg both after eating. I'm just wondering if this is the right treatment for this problem. Could you give me some advice on what to do?

Nipple erection and puffy nipples can indeed be symptoms of gynecomastia. However, Augmentin (625mg twice a day) and Rantac (150mg after food) are not typically used to treat gynecomastia. Augmentin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, while Rantac is used to reduce stomach acid. For gynecomastia, the treatment approach may vary depending on the underlying cause. It is important to follow up with your pulmonologist or a specialist in gynecomastia for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I'm really concerned because over the last six months, I've noticed my face and neck skin turning dark. I used to have a lighter complexion, but now this change has really affected the areas around my neck, jaws, and chin. On top of that, the skin on my cheeks is also starting to darken. I'm also managing diabetes, so I'm wondering if there could be a connection. What might be causing this, and is there a way to reverse it?
That could be acanthosis ,correct your BMI and visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management
