How to get rid of white bleb/blister on nipple ?

Hi Mummies, I am breastfeeding my 27 days old baby and today I noticed that there is a white bleb/blister on my nipple. I read about it and it mentions that this can happen due to a blocked milk duct. It is a little bit painful when the baby latches but not very painful. Attaching the photo Any mum who experienced this? Can please share how to get rid of this ? Thanks in advance 🙏 #firsttimemom

I’m prone to blister. Use warm epsom salt water to soak it for 10-15 mins ( I use Hakka for this) to soften it. Then take a warm bath for 10 mins. After that use a soaked moist towel / handkerchief to rub your nipple gently. Lastly latch or pump and see if it bursts. Mine usually burst after doing this for once but sometimes need to repeat this process twice.
