Hi Aimee
has this Mum had a swab taken of the cracked areas on the nipple and ?
a sample of milk sent for mcs? The cracks you mention and the fact her
pain has been unresponsive to antifungal treatment, make me wonder if
this Mum may have a staph bacterial infection. Cracks can provide a
great portal for bacteria into the ducts. Apologies if this has
already been discounted,
