A member asked:

Do skin tightening creams help reduce man boobs?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No.: "man boobs" are caused by excess tissue underneath the skin, not excess skin itself. Weight loss and a good exercise regimen will solve the problem in most cases. If it doesn't, there is an abnormal underlying problem going on that will need to be evaluated by your doctor.
