Mother gave pemission to post.
Mother of 7 month old started with sore at base of nipple.  At first she
thought the baby bit her, but didn't remember baby biting. (I stated to her
that if baby bit she would remember it).  All usual treatment used, but did
not try Dr. Newman's all purpose nipple ointment, but that may be next
choice. I did suggest an antibiotic ointment.
About a week or two following the problem with breast one, she noticed the
same time of trauma on other breast at base of nipple, but in a slightly
different position.  Not lump, just open area that scabs over than again
opens with nursing or pumping.  No milk leaking from area. Does not want to
wean. Suggestions as to problem and treatment.  Would greatly appreciate
your assistance. TIA
