no noogleberry for me this weekend unless the red mark is gone. Not sure if i over pumped because it's only on top of the breast. My theory is because of the medium cup wasn't as big as the cup i have now so it's the first time for my upper skin to stretch? I really hope it's not a big deal
This is caused by holding too long. You should remove the domes every 15 minutes, do a short massage (1 - 2 minutes) with oil, and replace the dome to continue pumping. The dome squeezes out the blood around the circumference where it presses on your chest, and this will, if allowed to continue, kill the skin and create a serious scar which will take literally years to completely clear up. In particular massage the area where the dome presses hardest to restore blood flow.

I have tried twice to add a sentence to my previous post without it showing up.
Another reason for the skin problem is lack of oil, you should apply sufficient oil to breasts and chest to allow the skin to be easily drawn up into the dome.

But being careful is the better option. dont aggravate it.
Do you massage after your session?
Bobbi
this was after 14 hours of my pump session that's why I'm worried and yes i do massage before- in between- after.

A lot of people have had good success curing up red dots by applying arnica

But, be warned, some have had a bad reaction to it, so apply a small amount first to make sure you are not allergic to it.
Might also try vitamin E.

Just apply (pure) vitamine E, it is much too sticky to massage with.
