HI Naomi!

I don't have any info at hand for you right now, but I remember that this
has been discussed here before, so there should be something in the
archives on it. Try 'crusty' and/or 'scabs' with 'nipples'.

Good luck and maybe you could post the results of your search and other
info that's shared with you to Lactnet with 'scabs on nipples' as subject
line.

The URL of the archives is: http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/archives/lactnet.html

Warmly,
