It might help to post in the breastfeeding support section, as barb gare has lots of useful advice. Sometimes you need to treat three ways- with an AB for infection, a steroid to soothe, and and antifungal. But if you dont get any relief, get another opinion. I don't want to alarm you but breast cancer sometimes manifests first as a rash in the nipple area, so if it worsens or shows no improvement then you may need to insist on getting it investigated to rule that out.
Thanks Marydean i think i will try that, i'm still battling with it and i know it's not going to go away over night but all these treatments really don't seem to be making a bit difference just yet.
One of the Dr's i saw did mention the connection to breast cancer and he did a breast examination so i think we can rule out that for the moment.
