How to differentiate between milk blister and candidiasis? It doesnt seem to recover even with treatment for 5 days ( candidiasis)

6y trước

A milk blister is a tiny "bubble" of milk trapped at the milk duct opening. Remedies include letting baby latch, warm compress,or just being brave and burst it! I use a sterile needle in clinic to pop it. Candidiasis is a fungal infection- this should be assessed by a doctor, and antifungal ointment may be needed.
