I have been lurking and learning on LACTNET for a long time, but need some
help with a problem.
  I am helping a mom of an older baby with what appears to be a tiny bleb on
her nipple.  It appears as a barely visible white dot and causes her
considerable pain while nursing.  It is also very tender to the touch.  She
doesn't seem to have any signs of thrush.  It seems like it is too small to
open with a needle.  I would appreciate any help with ideas on what the mom
can do about this.
