Med: You can use benzoyl peroxide and your doctor can prescribe topical Clindamycin or Erythromycin to treat the acne. Azelex (azelaic acid) can also be used. Your doctor can prescribe this also.

I gained a lot of weight during pregnancy and only recently I have reached a prepregnancy weight. I weaned my daughter 7 months ago. One nipple returned to normal size, the other did not. I see occasional white cheese like cream on them. No scaling?
