Don't worry, I don't mind at all. I think it's important for us NBErs to consider these dangers.
It all started out when I realized I was having dry and flakey nipples and areolas. At first I panicked like crazy. Then, I decided to apply a thick cream (it has some pore-clogging ingredients like petroleum and beeswax......I should have known not to put that stuff anywhere on my face LET ALONE my nipples!). I felt better on this cream....at first.
The day after I was preoccupied with my food poisoning so I didn't even have time or energy to shower. I still applied another layer of cream, completely forgetting that I had a previous layer slathered on from the day before.
Then at night my nipples and areola started to really hurt. Of course, STUPID ME assumed they were growing pains (I had introduced Schisandra pills that very day). Because when you are really desperate, logic goes out of the window.
It went on like this for another 4-5 days until when I got out of the shower I looked at my breasts in the mirror......and almost screamed in terror. My nipples, areola and heck even my breasts were a bright red. THE INFECTION HAD FREAKING SPREAD. I felt lumps on my nipple too. I was about to faint.
I rushed to my family doctor who said that I had a large number of clogged Montgomery Glands. First they got clogged by the cream. Then because of my sweat during the food poisoning and the fact that on those following days I couldn' shower, that meant that the glands got infected. The infection then spread past the areolas.
He immediately prescribed me an antibiotic cream. Of course, since I was just recovering from a severe case of food poisoning he couldn't prescribe me antibiotic pills as well. It would send me to a one way trip to the hospital.
So now I'm using this antibiotic cream plus alternating it with some manuka honey. I don't know if I will ditch the manuka honey and just use the antibiotic cream exclusively. I'm not too keen on slathering a strong antibiotic on my breasts..........
(I will take a look at the probiotic you suggested. God knows how much help I need right now)
