It helped to either take a hot shower prior or soak your nipple with some olive oil to soften the skin, then massage the area to make the bleb protrude before working on it. It hurt to do but, like PP's, the relief was immediate once milk started spraying out. Hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-bleb-help#post-2004771 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 20:29:47 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 2004771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used a sterilized needle, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-bleb-help#post-2004766 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 20:21:53 +0000 Mama Bird 2004766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used a sterilized needle too. If it's really bad, a hot shower helps before working on it. Squeeze the area around the bleb when you're trying to work it out, so it starts to stick out like a pencil eraser. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-bleb-help#post-2004692 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 18:58:06 +0000 SleepyMonkey 2004692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sterilized a needle and picked at the edge until I could massage the milk out...it came spraying out like crazy but it was immediate relief! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-bleb-help#post-2004681 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 18:49:10 +0000 Little Misters Mom 2004681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've dealt with a couple. It's so gross but yep, sterilize very sharp tweezers. Remember that you aren't "popping" the bleb like a zit or blister. Rather you are sort of lifting off the layer of skin that is trapping the milk. Then afterwards apply triple ointment (it's at any grocery/drug store) to prevent infection. And do an epsom soak (1 part epsom salt to 2 parts warm water, hold over nipple for two minutes several times a day). The good news is I felt better almost immediately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-bleb-help#post-2004678 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 18:45:44 +0000 coopsmama 2004678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh gosh, it's been awhile since I've had one (last summer 2013) but I ecentually just had to sterilize tweezers and pull the skin off. It hurt SO bad but felt much better immediately after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-bleb-help#post-2004647 Wed, 31 Dec 2014 18:17:49 +0000 Canoli 2004647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a milk Bleb that is excruciating.
