milk blister?

I have a tiny white blister thing on my right nipple. It doesn't hurt, my breast isn't too full or lumpy - do I need to do anything or feed through? It's completely painless.

Thanks!

I had similar recently only there was blood on the top and it was getting worse and painful! A lot of conflicting advice online and by the time I wanted something done about it was a Saturday so I gritted my teeth sterilised a needle and dealt with it myself. Congealed milk behind it, sooooo gross but pain stopped and I just expressed a couple of ounces off after and dumped them as it felt icky. If I were you Id attempt to feed through but watch for a blockage building up behind it and get it seen by a pro if it gets any worse. The glamour of breastfeeding eh??

Oh btw a lot of advice mentioned heat to help it as well!

This will sound gross but DD just had a feed and now it looks burst. She didnt complain - guess thats nipped it in the bud! (Terrible pun lol).
