Okay TMI post in comments, it looks disgusting. But I seriously need some help here! I have been on antibiotics for "mastitis" since last Monday, so it has been 8 days. My nipple is not healing, both are so sensitive, it hurts to put clothes on, pump, shower, etc. I can't touch them hardly. Could something else be going on? I'm a FTM so this is all new to me, and I seriously want to get back to breast feeding but I'm just not healing. Any help is appreciated! TIA

can you ask your doctor to prescribe you all purpose nipple cream . that stuff was magic for me.

could be thrush too. I'd get checked by your Dr just incase

I've used nipple creams like no tommorrow. They have dark purple spots, and it just looks like there are more spots now that look super infected and yellowish. I'm almost done with antibiotics idk what else to do. @tubiemomma

all purpose nipple cream is stronger than most. also try gentian violet...it will stain your nipples purple but it takes care of any infection

I know it sounds odd, but try putting some breastmilk on it. that stuff actually heals the breasts . (if you have any breastmilk )

girl go un for that! better be safe then sorry, idk if it has some cream on it in the pic but if it doesn't it does not look too good, it looks painful, and put a little towel in the microwave or warm hot watter and put it on your nipples,

you need to get genitian violet.. if it doesn't come off with a q tip then it's thrush (same for in babies mouth on tongue). @babyjjsmommy

Most health food stores carry it. You need to see an LC again too. They can tell you some other remedies like chamomile tea bags with hot water, eucalyptus and lav oil on it. But if it's thrush you may need yeast cream too. The dark purple and light spots could be old milk if you aren't still able to express.

How do I get in touch with an LC? and I pump about every 2 hrs and pump about 4-6 oz out of each breast so it shouldn't be old milk.

No it shouldnt, unless those ducts are clogged which the tea bags would help with. Your obgyn or pediatrician should have an LC on staff.
