A couple of things might help: warm saline soaks or I think epsom salts (wash off well after soaking) used by hanging the breast into a clean sink or tub to soak. after the soaking, a very GENTLE abrading of the bleb area with a towel. sometimes nursing the baby in a position where his chin is pointing to the bleb area will help release the clog. antibiotics in case of an infected area or cyst try another doctor, a breast surgeon if available, or even a dermatologist, to open the bleb. watch for signs of mastitis and treat as soon as possible hope she finds relief Laurie Wheeler RN MN IBCLC MISSISSIPPI USA *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html Mail all commands to [log in to unmask] To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or [log in to unmask]) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet or ([log in to unmask]) To reach list owners: [log in to unmask]
