Recurring milk blebs

I’ve been having recurring milk blebs for 2-3 weeks now. Everytime I pop it, it grows back again. I’ve tried soaking in Epsom salt, poking with sterilised needle etc and none of it works. Any mummies have solution that works please? 😭 thank you

Oh no, that sounds really frustrating 😞 If it's been recurring for 2-3 weeks despite soaking and popping it, it might be worth seeing a lactation consultant or doctor. Sometimes a milk bleb can be linked to an underlying blocked duct, and repeatedly poking it can irritate the skin or increase the risk of infection. Warm compresses before feeds, continuing to nurse or pump as usual, and ensuring the breast is well drained may help. But if it's the same spot coming back over and over, I'd get it checked rather than keep trying to pop it yourself. Hope you get some relief soon!
