I would be interested to learn how this problem resolves. 

I know that we aren't supposed to post for personal help here but I have a similar 
problem which I think is a persistent partially plugged duct/milk blister. 

My baby is nearly 9 months old. I have had issues with low supply and am fully 
breastfeeding with complementary foods. Weaned from domperidone for the second time 
sometime back in May. I have had recurrent plugged ducts mainly in my left breast. Most 
I was able to clear with heat and massage. Some developed a milk blister in the process 
of clearing which I was able to open after a hot bath using my finger nail. For the past 2 
months I have had a white spot on my nipple in the location of the nipple pore that 
blocked up most frequently. I can express milk from it. Latch is uncomfortable and I 
sometimes have persisting discomfort after a feeding. I have tried heat, massage, 
expression, opening the blister and most recently I have tried a compress of olive oil 
overnight as well as polysporin without improvement. 

Any more thoughts on what might help a persistent milk blister not causing a plugged 
duct? 

Thanks
