@inproceedings{Zanardo2016NippleareolaCM, title={Nipple-areola complex macro photography to test skin hydration and cracked nipples in breastfeeding women}, author={Vincenzo Zanardo and Francesca Volpe and Lara Giliberti and Gianluca Straface}, year={2016} }
Background: Appropriate hydration is fundamental in preventing nipple-areola skin barrier damage and cracking nipples. Methods: Nipple-areola complex skin hydration status with contemporary macro photography (x100) was evaluated at 36 ± 6 postpartum hours in breastfeeding women using non-invasive bioengineering methods. Results: Macro photography was found to be effective in describing both stratum corneum hydration features of breast nipple-areola complex and cracking nipples. Conclusion: A…

Using a particular type of wound dressing, a hydrogel sheet wound covering, on a nipple wound offers several advantages: these dressings help maintain a moist environment, decrease the chance of bacterial infection, are easy to use, and provide immediate pain relief.

It is suggested that frequent feedings in early lactation do not increase the incidence of nipple discomfort and there was a significant decrease in nipple soreness from days 1–5 to days 6–10 in spite of a significant increase in the frequency and duration of feedings over the same period.
