Jaye, there was a thread a few months ago about a mother who had a rash 
on her breasts after using the pump and it wasn't clearing.  Turned out 
to be psoriasis from an injury - can't remember the term used.  Check 
the archives.  Basically, psoriasis can be brought on in a localised 
area from an abrasion or scrape.  Can be up to two weeks from the injury 
before psoriasis occurs.
