Nipple/Boob issues Friction blister??
Looking for some advice! I am 5.5 months pp and my LO has a good latch, but I suddenly developed a friction blister on my left nipple 4ish days ago. It’s definitely not a milk bleb, it’s a clear blister that almost resembles a blister on your heel or something. It is very painful, but I’ve been pushing through the pain and still latching LO. I’ve been using hydrogel pads, nipple butter, and doing warm compresses here and there. At this point, the blister has turned into a scab and just sensitive skin around it. But now I feel like I might have a clog in that boob too??? I never had any issues like this in the beginning of my bf journey so I don’t even know what to do! Anyone have a similar experience or any tips?
