I have found homeopathy to be very effective at healing cysts of all kinds.
If I were working with this mom, I would suggest she see a naturopath. My MIL
was able to completely resolve a cyst on her back (years ago--never returned)
with only a homeopathic remedy. Having been trying for weeks to help a mother
wean unsuccessfully from a nipple shield (that someone else gave her months
ago), I worry about suggesting it for a mother who be likely to get her baby
hooked on it.
