Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your case, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.
1]Please do not panic.
2] usually as the pregnancy progresses, hormonal changes make changes in the breast tissues also.
3] Breast glands enlarge and start giving out some secretions. Raised nipples and slight tenderness is due to these changes.
4] Please wear right sized innerwear to support breasts.
5] use of OLIVE OIL or any aloe vera containing moisturizer will help to keep nipple and breast skin healthy.
6]Tab CALPOL 500 mg as needed if pain is unbearable.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you great health.
