Debbie, are you sure it's not thrush?  I recently had a Group mom 
(LLL) with a giant knob on her nipple that looked like a huge bleb 
(milk blister).  She went to a doctor who told her it was a calcified 
milk deposit, which I didn't buy (doc also said she'd need surgery to 
excise it, which I also didn't buy).  I never supected thrush because 
this mom was very prone to blebs and was taking lecithin anyway, I 
just thought it was a really bad one that didn't resolve itself.  She 
finally went on a course of diflucan, treated her baby as well, and 
reports (after several months of working on it) that she has never 
felt better, the big white knob is gone from her nipple, and she is 
pain free for the first time in her nursing memory.

My radar went up when you said this mother was on 
Ampicillin...antibiotics often lead to thrush in yeast-susceptible 
women.  What do you think?
