piercing problem?
Hi,
Could anyone offer any help or advice on breastfeeding after having a piercing removed? I took out my nipple ring over a year ago but am still getting like a 'core' thing coming out if squoze and to be honest it doesnt smell too pretty (EW gross! Way to stop people replying) I've seen my GP who gave me Nystan and said it'd clear it up. It didn't! I went back and he said I should stop thinking about it. I haven't delivered yet (am 29 weeks) but am wanting to sort this out before he arrives as I loved feeding my other 2 kids. I just cant stand the thought of my breast being 'skanky' while trying to feed. Sorry for grossing you out Carla |

I had my nipples pierced, and removed the jewelry 5 months later. Then five years (yes, FIVE years later) I had my daughter. I could still see where the piercings were, and could occasionally get some hard kind of pasty stuff to come out of one of them. I'm guessing it's a sort of smegma, but it didn't smell particularly bad. Anyway, to make a long story short .. my daughter was born two years ago, and I quit getting that stuff when I began breastfeeding, and it's completely gone ...haven't seen it at ALL. I'm guessing the milk keeps it cleaned out. Plus, breastmilk has anti-bacterial properties, and that should help it further. Oddly enough, the side that I could get the stuff to come out of ...no milk ever comes out of the piercing. The side I usually didn't get stuff out of ... milk comes out of the piercing hole. Surprising that after 7 years, it's open enough to let milk come through. Cathy Weeks Mommy to Kivi Alexis 12/01 |

It's nothing to take antibiotics over anyway. Don't worry about it unless you start having problems like plugged ducts or something.

Just a thank you to Cathy and Phoebe.
A problem shared is a problem halved etc lol It is good though to know others with similar experiences. Thank you Carla Phoebe & Allyson wrote in message ...
