I have searched the archives and have some useful information on bloody milk. I have the need of your support in hearing this case though....if you will indulge me! Mom is nursing her fifth child who is 6 months old and has had what she reports as mastitis. (Soreness in one breast that phys. prescribed an antibiotic for) After the 7 day course of antibiotic, she states, the bloody milk is gone, but it still hurts (burning) as the baby starts to nurse. She has no cracked nipple, reports no pinkness of the nipple, no lumps, no signs of thrush in baby. She has called the doc back and was given a script for Nystatin cream.....and if that doesn't work they will move on to Diflucan. She had bleeding again yesterday, but it has stopped. What have I missed here? Does this sound more like Papilloma to anyone? Thanks for your input.
