It seems to me that the problem w/ the plugged nipple pore has to do with
skin growing over the opening itself. So the question becomes, why is skin
growing over? It's not JUST a plug of milk which would come out easily if the
pore was patent. It's not, which is why so many have to use a sterile needle
to open it. How can we prevent the skin from growing over? I've seen, in
my practice anyway, that once the skin starts growing over, it seems to
continue to happen -- usually in the same spot.
Is it a breastfeeding management issue, or is it something else entirely?
Seems to me that the plug is secondary to the covering on the pore.
Or am I missing something?
