| It has been 15 days I've given birth, the baby is still incubator because he had respiratory problems and I've been pumping. The bad news is that I have crazy itching nipples and across the chest. I think it would take off my skin really! What can I do? |

| Is it thrush? If it is it should slowly turn painful over the next couple days. You can get a prescription for Difflucan. |

| I was thinking thrush too. I'd also take acidophilus and do vinegar rinses along with a prescription if you get one... if it isn't bad yet doing that might be enough and you won't even need to get meds for it. It's a big pain though and so hard to get rid of some times. |
