Patient's question:
Postpartum for 47 days, nipple cracking is particularly severe. At first, there were cracks, then blisters formed, and after scabs formed, the cracks reopened again, and now new blisters are appearing. Every bite the baby takes while nursing is excruciatingly painful. I have tried my own breast milk, yellow yolk oil, erythromycin eye ointment, and erythromycin cream, but the effects have not been significant.Doctor's answer:
This situation is often related to repeated local irritation. After each feeding, proper skincare and moisturization of the affected area are essential. Enhancing local circulation through moisturization and nutrition can prevent further irritation and promote complete recovery. It's especially beneficial to do this under sunlight while breastfeeding. The above suggestions are for the question "Postpartum for 47 days, nipple cracking is particularly severe." I hope this helps you. Wishing you good health!
