I have three clients who have these deep cuts on their nippl;es that JUST 
WON'T HEAL.  We've used bacitracin, super wound wash, moist healing pads, 
skipping every other feed and pumping rather than nursing, and they won't 
heal.  One ofthese women had flat nipples withher previous baby and it's 
everted since.  My guess is that with the connective tissue stretched, maybe 
it was compromised and now "broke?"  Second woman, first baby, pain is 
severe.  The baby has a large tongue, she reports strong suck, nipples were 
slightly flat and have everted just with nursing.  Third woman, flat nipples, 
used shield with first baby, now a painful stretching feeling above and below 
nipple.
