Keloid scar on the nipple

Posted By Blessing (Owerri, Imo, Nigeria) on 05/21/2010

My name is Blessing from Nigeria, I had a boil on my right nipple in the year 1998, now it has developed to keloid scar. I have tried many treatments including crushed aspirin but to no avail. Please, help me because i don't know if i can breast-feed my baby(ies) with that breast. Am scared.

I have written for two times requesting the treatment of scar on the nipple, but until now, i have not received any reply from you. Please, that request needs an urgent reply from you. Thank you.

I need more information to help you. There are many milk ducts in the breast. It is possible to breast feed with one breast and it is possible to breast feed with only partial availability of ducts. How much area of the nipple does the scar cover?

There is a thick covering of the breast nipple where the baby can hold on and suck but the milk ducts are there and are visible. I need what i can do to remove the thickening entirely. Please help.
