White stuff on nipples

A woman's breast is a very important part, it represents the woman. As women, we must pay attention to our own health, and breast health requires special attention. Pay more attention to the condition of your breasts and see if you feel any discomfort. If you notice anything on your nipples, you need to pay attention. So, what are the milky white particles on the nipples?

What are the milky white particles on the nipple?

1. Smell

In the later stages of breastfeeding, the amount of milk secreted is large, and it is accompanied by a milk secretion reaction. Even if you do not squeeze the nipples and nipple pores, milk will be secreted automatically. If the quality is poor, white granular milk scale will form around the nipple pores.

2. Clogged pores

During lactation, prolactin secretion is abundant, and the sebaceous glands around the breasts are also more abundant than at other stages. When the amount of milk secretion is large and the nipple environment is moist, the secretion of sebaceous glands may be blocked. Therefore, the white particles on the breasts may be caused by folliculitis blocking the pores.

3. Mastitis

If white spots appear on the nipples and are accompanied by worsening breast pain, it is likely that milk stasis and mastitis have caused the tubes to become inflamed and narrow. Do not use a needle or other tools to pick the nipples, otherwise the blockage will only make the mastitis more serious.

4. Grease particles

Mothers do not need to think it is strange to have oil particles on the nipples. Many breastfeeding mothers are worried that their babies are not getting enough food, so they take a lot of high-fat milk-inducing soups and food supplements. In addition, they eat some hot foods on a daily basis, which already have a high fat intake rate. Moreover, many mothers often let their babies fall asleep with the nipple in their mouth at night. Various bad habits can easily cause oil particles to grow on the nipples, resulting in blockage of the nipple pores and poor milk duct secretion, leading to a variety of breast problems.
