There is a white pustule on the nipple

What's going on with the white pustules on the nipples? Pustules on the nipples are caused by the formation of epidermal scars on the nipple pores, which block the pores. When breast secretions are discharged from the nipples, they gradually accumulate at the nipple pores, forming milky white pustules. This condition most often occurs in breastfeeding women. Because the baby sucks the nipple, it is easy to cause inflammation and adhesion of the nipple pore skin, resulting in milk accumulation in the pore area. The milk pressure increases, and expands outward to form milky white pus-like blisters. At this time, if the white blisters are picked open with a needle, a large amount of milk will slowly discharge.

There is a milky white pustule on the nipple, which is usually caused by mastitis. For pustules, appropriate antibiotics can be given for external application treatment at the beginning, and some antibiotics can be taken orally if necessary.

In addition, patients should try to maintain daily nipple cleanliness and choose looser underwear. Most patients' white pustules on the nipples can be treated very well.

If the milky white pustules are relatively large, it may be necessary to perform incision and pus removal under local anesthesia.

Patients should pay attention to rest more, and try to eat light-flavored food, avoiding spicy or irritating foods.

During breastfeeding, milky white pustules on the nipples are considered to be caused by purulent infection in the nipple part. It is best to go to the hospital to puncture the pustules and apply relevant plasters for treatment. The baby bites the nipple during the sucking process, and then develops white pustules caused by bacteria. At this time, it is not suitable to continue breastfeeding the baby. It is best to resume breastfeeding after complete recovery.

It is recommended to clean the chest regularly to prevent infection. It is recommended to eat a light diet and avoid spicy and high-calorie foods, which are not conducive to recovery. Pay attention to proper exercise, which is beneficial to the recovery of the condition, and remember to wash the nipples with warm water every day.
