He bit me on Sunday, I haven't fed him from that side until today, hopin git would give it some time to heal.

Its burst open, bleeding, and I am dizzy with it hurting. I have no idea how I am going to put clothes over it.

What do I do???

keep it wet - DO NOT let it dry out - lots of chamilosan cream or similar.

Recenytly had a similar problem - was hell when it dried out.

I have piled the cream on (god that hurt, never been sick with pain before), and now - don't laugh - have an avent bottle lid (no teat, just the white bit) over it stopping fabric touching, and a loose top over it. Thinking by the time I have a cardy and coat on it won't be spotted at school... and even if it is if it stops just some of this pain then I really don't care!!

Oh! Poor you!

How about one of those breast shell things.Bit smaller than a bottle top.

too close to touching the skin... A nice thing i learnt today though... my nipple is the exact size of an avent bottle neck!

Thought I'd give you an update. I bathed it with salty water (the language wasn't pretty, but it made sure it was properly cleansed!), have got cream on it and a bit of melanin(?) dressing so that it doesn't have anything it can stick to (nasty breast pad incident earlier!!).

looking a lot better.
