Hi, Heather:  I'm probably dating myself, but remember years ago, we
recommended blow-drying the nipples after feeding?  The joke in the
hospital was you knew who was breastfeeding, because the hair dryer was
going non-stop.  This might help your mother to get the area dry before it
re-inverts (and then stays moist, promoting further skin breakdown).  Also,
maybe Jack Newman's APNO to get rid of any possible "bugs".
Let us know what works for this mom.  Good luck.
