Blisters on nipple - breastfeeding

Just getting over mastitis & now I’ve developed a blister/cluster of blisters on my nipple. So painful when feeding it’s unreal. I think both were caused by latching/positioning issues which I’m working on. Baby had his tongue tie corrected which helps.
Anything I can do for my blisters that you found helped? They’ve gone from being white to yellow, almost scabbed (tmi). Baby doesn’t mind and seems to prefer that side at the moment which isn’t helping!

Are you using nipple cream? If not then this definitely helps create a barrier and most are okay for baby to ingest too. If it’s really painful try nipple shields or expressing the milk directly into the baby’s mouth for a bit.
