no, it shouldn't be, huh? That's what I thought with DD after having continuously BF for 3.5 years when I got my first thrush bout!
In fact, I have another bout now that I am treating with Daktarin gel - the gel doesn't have to be wiped off before feeds, the cream does. There's also the oral drops (1ml per dose) for bub's mouth.
Shiny means thrush...just before they start peeling and them if you leave it, they begin to crack
It will clear up soon and wonder what it was all about
