How to deal with a little bleeding from the nipples when using a nipple corrector

Patient's question:

Age 21, congenital nipple inversion. Since yesterday, I have been using a nipple corrector about three times a day. After using it, the nipple does indeed protrude, but not completely. It retracts shortly after and there is a gap at the tip of the nipple. This morning, after using it, I noticed a small amount of leakage from the gap at the tip of the nipple. Upon observation, it appears to be blood.

Doctor's answer:

Medical Analysis: Hello, this condition may be related to the high frequency of use of this orthopedic device. It is recommended to pause its use.
Guidance: For local cracks, apply erythromycin externally to promote healing. You can first perform manual traction, gently pulling the retracted nipple outward. Sustained or intermittent outward traction on the nipple can help make it protrude. The male partner with a sexual partner can suck on the retracted nipple.
