Having lot of issues and tried various treatments, but wondering if this might be worth trying. Would love to know what ppl thought of it and what it worked best for

I just got some yesterday and have used it every hour except over night and I feel like it's helping.  I've had pain on my left nipple since my son was born 3 months ago.  I've had thrush, mastitis, milk blisters and pain from bad latch.  My lactation consultant thinks I might have a tough case of thrush I'm goig to try gentian violet with the apno, but I just nursed nearly pain free on th left side after one day of using the ointment so I have high hopes for it alone!  I'd suggest trying it.

Oh me too! I just got mine on Thursday and already the two smaller open wounds on either nipple are practically covered over! The bigger ones are still trouble but the pain is much less, and I also suspect I have thrush (also, ds has a tough time latching and maintaining suction due to some oversupply), all of which will hopefully be assessed and managed with an IBCLCs help on wednesday!!! I say DEFINATELY get your hands on some of this stuff!!

I worked really well for me.  I'd highly recommend it.
