The best treatment is to visit an endocrinologist and find out why you have a hormonal imbalance and get that fixed. If it's due to steroid abuse, stopping the steroids would be a good first step. However, any breast tissue already present is permanent and cannot be reduced except by surgery.– Carey Gregory ♦Commented Jun 17, 2016 at 15:05
