Hi I m hoping you can put my mind at rest my name is AAAAA I m 36 and a mother of 6 children I m still currently breast feeding my two yr old and he sometimes bites my breast when he falls asleep , today I was inspection a sore nipple when I noticed I have a small hollow ish scaly patch near the nipple kits not itchy or anything bit I did notice it looks like its peeling slightly ! Is this from his teeth rubbing or is it something I should worry about ? Warm regards Theresa mulvey

Hi,
From history it seems that this cut might be due to teeth bite of baby while breast feeding.
Now you can stop breast feeding as baby is 2 years old.
Clean the part with water and apply antibiotic cream.
For time being do not go for feeding from that breast.
Ok and take care.
