Keep feeding/pumping: Sometimes warm compresses are helpful. Any persistent lesion/change should be checked out asap.

Keep nursing!: It usually occurs in moms that have a lot of milk. Have the baby nurse at least every 2 hours, apply moist heat, dont lie on your breast, sleep on your back, wear a support bra. Drink plenty of fluids. As long as the milk keeps flowing, chances are it will not become infected. If you develop fever, the area becomes more painful or red, call your doctor.
