no, no, no, and no
edited my original post also ...
HEALING is not a problem. NOR is DRYNESS.
PREVENTION - that is the problem.
(sorry if I sound a bit short right now, I'm just busy ...)
what I'm thinking/wondering .. is if this could be some sort of chronic fungal infection? or something else weird like that?
also considering that the pain/cracking is
only where the nipple is attatched to the areola. so, that is where any moisture would be likely to collect ... and things breed in warm moist areas...
is this making sense?
and, if this could be the case, hunnychile, you could be spot-on with the tea-tree, I'm aware of it's antifungal properties, and may very well give that a try. and, a fungal infection could be lingering in the old piercing holes.
I'll probably also get some of that Lansinoh stuff, as that intuitivly sounds nice and soothing right now.
so yeah, thanks for the replies, lovelies! It all helps, even if i'm kinda cranky right now
