But yeah maybe a loofah or something a little more rough would work even better, as long as it's not too too rough. ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recurring-milk-blister#post-779663 Tue, 14 May 2013 06:17:40 +0000 SleepyMonkey 779663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: thanks for the tips. did you just use a facial exfoliator? or a loofah? its only started happening in the last week, and i don't know why! maybe i have been eating more fatty foods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recurring-milk-blister#post-779369 Mon, 13 May 2013 21:03:35 +0000 T-Mom 779369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had recurring blisters... Be vigilant about exfoliating in the shower to prevent it from growing over. Also to keep it soft, you can keep a cotton ball soaked in olive oil tucked inside your bra. I never got to try this, but taking lecithin could help, or try to avoid rich fatty foods as that could make your milk thicker and make you more prone to the blisters.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recurring-milk-blister#post-779223 Mon, 13 May 2013 20:16:19 +0000 SleepyMonkey 779223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a really small milk blister on my right nipple. About the size of a poppy seed. It keeps growing over and the milk gets stuck, so I have a wedge sized lump in my breast. I keep having to pick at it with a sterilized needle so that the milk can exit, but the skin keeps growing over it. Anyone been thru something similar? I'm nervous about getting mastitis from picking at it so much with a needle. </p>
