I have had a mom that was allergic to the carrier cream!  Remember - these creams and ointments are chemicals that are dissolved in some type of base.  There are pharmacists on lactnet who can explain this, I'm sure.

Has anyone ever heard of overuse of APNO (Jack Newmans all purpose nipple
ointment) causing an ulcer on a moms nipple. She attributes it to steroids in the cream.
