R: frequent blebs and engorgments

[Guest guest]

This is very interesting for me . When I saw the mom, it seemed to me just a blocked duct.I have no support here to diagnose an infection. What do you do in those cases?Hugsa Da: [mailto: ] Per conto di Healy, IBCLCInviato: martedì 20 dicembre 2011 17.42A: Oggetto: Re: frequent blebs and engorgments I'm sure there are different ways a bleb can start; repeated trauma at the nipple, plugs/damage in the duct... The white spot is inflammatory tissue though, not milk. It's not always blocking milk from coming out.These pictures look more suspicious for infection to me though. HealySeattle, WA That's interesting, though I wonder if the bleb IS inflammatory cells, or if the bleb CAUSES inflammation. And what kind of skin is over the bleb that it is so darn hard to break to get the milk out??? Jan The doctor I work for had bleb tissue analyzed by a lab and it was discovered that a bleb is inflammatory cells. She prescribes a steroid ointment to calm down the inflammation. Of course it's also important to determine why the baby is causing damage in the first place. __________ Informazioni da ESET NOD32 Antivirus, versione del database delle firme digitali 6727 (20111220) __________Il messaggio è stato controllato da ESET NOD32 Antivirus.www.nod32.it
