Jaye, there was a thread a few months ago about a mother who had a rash
on her breasts after using the pump and it wasn't clearing. Turned out
to be psoriasis from an injury - can't remember the term used. Check
the archives. Basically, psoriasis can be brought on in a localised
area from an abrasion or scrape. Can be up to two weeks from the injury
before psoriasis occurs.
