I have a mom whose doctor says her baby has Herpes Simplex 1.  The baby has
blisters in her mouth and mom has two blisters on her nipples.  The baby is
19 mos. old and is being treated with a Lidocaine solution for the mouth and
a liquid antibiotic.  She was advised to stop nursing immediately.  Mom
works during the day and nurses at night and before she goes to work, but
does not want to quit.  She said she has been putting Neosporin on her
nipples (her own idea) and thinks the blisters are getting better.  She is
not removing the Neosporin before she nurses.  The public health nurse told
her she need to quit or it could turn to genital herpes!    Has anyone had
any experience with this and what was the recommended treatment?  How long
before it should clear up?
