    I would be going back to the dr and asking for a dermatologist referral asap. If it doesn't respond to treatment then you may want to ask for a biopsy to rule out a more sinister cause. Unlikely but best to rule it out anyway.

    Thanks Marydean i will go back on Monday, i tried to get an appt today but they were fully booked.

    I do get dermatitis, mainly on my hands but it clears up with cream. I'm not sure what this is if it isn't dermatitis?? And the creams just don't seem to be having any effect.

    I hope something can work soon and something that won't effect my breastfeeding because DD and i have a long way to go with that yet.

    Ok i'm still in need of some help and advice....

    I've been to the dr's another 2 times. I think we are treating it as thrush now, i'm not entirly sure if this is what it is but i'll give it a go and hope for some improvement. From what i've read it mainly effects the nipples but i seem to be effected more so around the the nipple area. DD is totally clear she has no signs of it.

    Does this sound like thrush or not??
