psoriasis on nipples

[redtop1]

hello, 5 months into breastfeeding and I have developed psoriasis around my nipples. Anyone got any ideas on how to treat it? Am reluctant to use my usual psoriasis cream on it as I don't want baby to be ingesting it. He's a frequent feeder so wiping it on and off would be a lot of hassle and probably exacerbate the problem. Any other ideas gratefully received! Thanks.

Could you not use lansinoh to keep the area hydrated? Otherwise aqueous cream maybe?
