My nipples have a red rash all around them…what’s going on?
I have been breastfeeding for seven months now and I just noticed in the mirror that my nipples have a red rash all around them. I don’t know what’s going on but this morning I woke up with a plugged milk pore and though its not plugged anymore, I am experiencing some soreness and it kinda itches way up on my breast…like by my armpit. But my nipple on the opposite breast is redder than the one with the plugged milk pore, but they are both red. It looks like a rash but doesnt actually itch or hurt..yet. I don’t know what’s going on. I wonder if the plugged pore and the rash has anything to do with each other. Has anyone experienced this?
PS. I don’t think it’s mastitis because I feel great (no temp or any other symptoms) and there is no pain so I don’t think is thrush or anything like that.
That cuz you are breast feeding and its been 7 months they are sore its normal. When you are not feeding put on some ointment then before you feed wash it it off that should work.
