1/2% gentian violet continues to be my preferred method of treating yeast. Nystatin is often worthless. Would apply once a day to entire nipple/areola (and beyond if involved) for 5 days and baby's moouth for 3 days. (Since baby is older, could use 1% if that is all that is available) Deep breast pain often resolves when nipples are adequately treated.
