What to do about this hyperpigmentation

Got top surgery (peri) a couple of months ago, while my tits are gone I still have their coloration. What can I do about the hyperpigmentation underneath my chest? I really hate and it makes me dysphoric

I live in a city and it's winter here so getting a tan is not an option (plus it would mess with my scars)

How cissexual theyfabs stare at you after you tell them you want to actually transition

peri 2 months PO, inflammation or leftover tissue?

Since I first saw my chest I noticed that my left side was very big and round, my surgeon told me that was inflammation and it would go down but it's been nine weeks now and while it did reduce a bit it remains virtually the same. Its especially noticeable and ugly under harsh light (4th photo)

I find it really hard not to worry about it, how does it look from an outsiders perspective? Is there a way for me to maybe feel around and be able to tell if it's just inflammation or not? If I will need a revision I'd prefer to start planning for it as soon as possible and get it out of the way

Last pic is my chest at ~around 2 weeks PO for comparisons sake

When did your nipple color go back to normal?

Pre surgery my nipples were a light brown, right now (8 weeks PO) they are a deep dark reddish pink, it makes them look very prominent and I quite dislike it so I'm wondering around what time does nipple color generally go back to normal. I had peri if that affects things

Risk of scars stretching during exercise?

I had peri five weeks ago, my surgeon gave me the clear to start exercising like normal so today I did just that. I noticed that I feel great with certain exercises but when doing Lateral raises I could feel a really strong pulling sensation on my chest.

One of my nipples already stretched out (I will probably need to get a correction some day) and I'm paranoid that exercising will continue stretching my scars and making them wider, even if my surgeon told me it was ok to do so.

Should I worry? How long should I wait to exercise to make sure my results aren't affected?

I think about cutting literally every day

I think I permanently fucked up my brain by using self harm as a coping mechanism when I was a teenager, there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about cutting myself. I've been able to stop for a couple of years at a time but I always end up relapsing and right now I don't have anything stopping me from doing so.

3 weeks post op from peri

Yesterday they took out my stitches and my doctor prescribed me a cream to start using, immediately all the scabbing started falling off but instead of a scar underneath I have raw flesh. It also looks like I lost part of my nipple on the second pic?

idk I think the scabs peeled off way too quickly and I'm worried that going to affect my results.
