Kathleen, the fissure is the result of previous damage to the nipple,
which was a huge, bleeding crack. Aproximately how long would you
imagine it will take to heal, if the attatchment is good. I will
suggest treatment for thrush as well, just to be on the safe side. I
will also check the archives for information on moist wound healing.
