Hi mummies, I have a blister on my nipple. Its so painful. May I seek your opinion should I see my gynae for medication? Will it heal on its own if I leave it alone? How long will it takes to cure? I full pump and no direct latch. Baby is 6 mths now.

There is no need to seek medication if you do not have fever (mastitis sign). For milk blister, you can do hot compression by applying heat using warm towel to soften the breast before pumping. If the blister is too stubborn, you can purchase sterilised needle from pharmacy to pop it. My friend had a stubborn blister and even massage lady didn't manage to clear it used sterilised needle to solve it. http://kellymom.com/bf/concerns/mother/nipplebleb/
