I'm a 23-year-old guy and I've noticed that I have puffy nipples. They look normal when it's cold, but when it's warm, they get really puffy again. It makes me feel super self-conscious about taking my shirt off. I'm pretty sure it's not gynecomastia because there aren't any lumps under the nipples. Is there anything I can do that might help with this?

I'm a bit confused about how to use the Ekran soft gel. Do I need to be in the sun after applying it, or is that not necessary? Also, should I only put it on the affected area or spread it across my whole face?

To use Ekran Soft Gel, you should apply it evenly to the affected area of the skin. There is no need to expose the skin to the sun after applying this gel. Just make sure to apply a thin layer of the gel to the affected area and gently massage it in. It is not necessary to apply it to the entire face unless directed by your doctor.
