The duration of the healing will vary. Superficial and recent soreness may clear in a matter of hours or days. However, long-established and profound wounds may require a up to 2 or 3 weeks to be entirely resolved even after the cause of the soreness has been eliminated.
Keeping this in view, what happens if you get a cut on your nipple?
If left untreated, nipple fissures can lead to lactational mastitis, or inflammation of the breast. Mastitis can cause a breast abscess to form, which might require incision and drainage to treat. Breast infections can also be aggravated by the yeast Candida, especially in breastfeeding women.
Also, what does a cracked nipple look like?
Cracked nipples are trauma to the nipple and can be quite painful. Cracked nipples typically appear three to seven days after the birth. If the nipples appears to be wedge-shaped, white and flattened, this may indicate that the latch is not good and there is a potential of developing cracked nipples.
