>>>Do you all think hydrogel dressings can harbor yeast?  Is anyone using
them
on nipples damaged by presumed thrush?  Should we be avoiding hydrogel in
that situation?
Becky Krumwiede, RN, IBCLC, Appleton, Wisconsin<<<

Becky and all,
The authors of the JHL article gave a presentation here in Ohio.  They
stated that the hydrogel  will worsen the situation if there is an
untreated infection present.  The solution is to apply the appropriate
medication to the wound and then cover with the hydrogel.
