A member asked:
Breast is throbbing with pain well after breastfeeding. the nipple is sore and it looks like theres a crack on it. nipple creams arent helping.

Breast pain: When you are breastfeeding and you notice pain not only in your breast but also in the nipple area with cracking, please see your doctor as soon as possible as this can be the first sign of infection in the breast. Your provider can recommend treatment and possibly start antibiotic treatment if needed.
