I have a local LLL leader and the health nurse stumped...

I'm wondering if the hormonal changes from the mini-pill could also lead to this? --BetsyI've never taken this mini-pill ever before. This is the first time I've ever had it and been on it. Don't scare me with the similar symptons while nursing during pregnancy! This better not be the case for me, as I would be fairly upset! LOL This lady is looking into possible side effects from the mini-pill. After it was brought up, though, I do wonder if it could possibly be because of the Ovol? Yes, it could be. The inactive ingredients could even have changed since you used it with your others. --Betsy For argument's sake, let's just say that this is what's causing it... Should I keep using the Ovol for DD or should I stop? I think it really might be the Ovol. I was feeding DD earlier this evening, and I made mention to DH that she does have a fantastic latch. I pointed out that her lips are back, she sucks real good and she has a lot of the nipple and surrounding in her mouth. At that point I stopped and also noticed that the only part that is red is basically what goes in her mouth and the redness and peeling skin part basically stops dead where her lips close on my breast. It's like the red part is ONLY as far as her lips go. ....Part of me says to keep using it as needed for her, as I do think it helps her when she gets cranky and difficult in the evenings and night. Keep using it because it seems to help AND it seems to have an affect on me in the way that my nipples are bright red, peeling skin off and looking chapped, but also keep using it because even with these obvious symptoms, I feel no real pain. It's not really hurting me or anything like that. Just a very slight, very mild irritation. I find taking the garbage bags out to the bin more of an irritation than my nipples, yet I still take the garbage out. |

It's like the red part is ONLY as far as her lips go. What about using a thin layer of purified lanolin like lansinoh on them to help protect them from the Ovol? I don't know if it would work, but it might help. On the other hand, you are exactly describing how mine looked during my 11 1/2 week pregnancy last fall. Because of this recent personal experience I wouldn't completely rule out the mini-pill as a hormonal cause. --Betsy |

I have something strange going on, and it's left both an LLL leader and a health nurse wondering. For some reason, my nipples are extremely red, when they're normally like a light brown color. Just the nipples, not around or anything. Also, the nipples only are kind of peeling fine layers of skin. The best way I can describe it is... It almost looks like my nipples are sunburned ASk your Dr whether it could be cellulitis (a bacterial infection of the skin). A friend of mine had it and it looked a bit like that. -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) "Parenthood is like the modern stone washing process for denim jeans.
