A recurrent nipple blister is likely due to a staph aureus or staph
epidermitis infection. The blister should be unroofed and cultured by
her physician, and she should be treated with antibiotics that cover a
staph infection. She should remain on the antibiotics until the blister
does not reoccur for at least 2 weeks, and all of her breast pain and
tenderness are gone.
