There is a white spot on the nipple. What should I do if it hurts when the child is breastfeeding?

Breastfeeding mothers will have some breastfeeding problems during the feeding process, such as milk lumps in the breasts or white spots on the nipples, and symptoms of breast pain, etc. In fact, there are many reasons for the formation of white spots on the nipples, which can be divided into three types in general. Different causes require different treatments. So let us take a detailed look at what to do if there is a white spot on the nipple and the child is painful when feeding?

First, what should I do if there is a white spot on the nipple and it hurts when the child is breastfeeding? The first type is in the shape of small bubbles with liquid in it, and it looks like there is a transparent membrane on the outside. When the mother is breastfeeding, the whole breast hurts, and it is usually accompanied by milk accumulation. In this case, we can use erythromycin ointment or use medical alcohol to disinfect a fine needle, and then puncture the small white blisters. The milk will flow out and the swollen area due to milk accumulation will soften.

Second, the second situation is different from the first one. The white spots on the nipples do not look like blisters, and there is no transparent membrane-like skin on the surface. Compared with the first type, this type of white spots will cause more pain in the nipples and breast engorgement when the baby is breastfeeding. Touch it gently with your hand and it feels like millet grains, with a granular texture. At this time, the mother can apply erythromycin ointment around the nipples. After letting it sit for a while, squeeze the "white spots" outwards with one hand, and use the gauze or cotton swab in the other hand to wipe in one direction to wipe out the "rice grains". During this period, you can apply some more ointment to make it easier to erase. After the "rice grains" are wiped off, you can express the milk. Be sure to use ointment to disinfect after wiping it off, and clean your breasts before the next breastfeeding.

There is a white spot on the nipple and it hurts the child when breastfeeding. What should I do? Breast pain is a common nipple ulcer. The mother may feel nipple pain, or it may occur with or without breast swelling. The ulcer surface is a small white hole, which is very painful during breastfeeding. When nipple ulcers occur, be sure to clean the surface before breastfeeding. If the mother has nipple ulcers and the baby happens to have ulcers or cracks in the mouth, she should not continue breastfeeding. You should seek medical treatment as soon as possible after an ulcer occurs. If you are an inexperienced mother, no matter what the symptoms are, it is recommended that you go to the hospital first to confirm whether it affects breast health. If you already have mastitis, you should receive treatment according to your doctor's advice. When using the above method, pay attention to disinfection and clean it before the next breastfeeding. If the baby has a wound in the mouth, special attention should be paid.
