One thought that came to mind right away when it was mentioned that mom expressed black milk was the following.? Let us know the results, so we can all learn.?
<

Mammary duct ectasia. Mammary duct ectasia is one of
the most common causes of abnormal nipple discharge. One or more of the
ducts beneath your nipple becomes inflamed and clogged with a thick,
sticky, green or black substance. Most often, mammary duct ectasia
affects women in their 40s and 50s. You can relieve some of your
symptoms by applying warm compresses to your breast. Taking aspirin or
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen, may help
relieve some symptoms. Also, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to
clear up any infection. In some cases, surgery might be necessary to
remove the affected duct.>
