Patient's question:
Since the child was born, it broke. At five months, it healed for a month. When it was almost six months old, it opened again, this time more severe with pus inside. The child has been eating, and it hurts a lot.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Nipple cracking refers to visible cracks on the nipple, which can cause pain or bleeding when encountering squeezing or sucking. It is commonly seen during the lactation period of first-time mothers. You can apply erythromycin ointment to the cracked nipple. If the effect is not good, it is recommended to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.
