BFing Mom's-White spot on your nipple?
I have been noticing for a few days, this white spot that always seems to "come out" of one of my pores on my nipple. Is this the beginning of a clogged duct? It's making the pore very open though but I notice no milk comes out of it.

It's definitely this! Thanks! However, I have never had mastitis and I hope it stays away!!
A white spot on the nipple may also be caused by an obstruction within the milk duct (as opposed to skin covering the milk duct). The obstruction might be a tiny, dry clump of hardened milk or a "string" of fattier, semi-solidified milk. The first type of milk duct obstruction will often pop out from the pressure of nursing or manual expression, or can be gently scraped from the surface of the milk duct with a fingernail. The second type can often be manually expressed from the milk duct; reducing saturated fats can help to prevent recurrence of this type of obstruction. Both of these types of milk duct obstruction are associated with recurrent mastitis.

I literally popped a milk blister once because it was hurting me and driving me nut. PUMP or nurse on that side like crazy. Use a warm compress and hand express as well.

Is it dried milk? If you pump alot you can get it - I did and do. My MW told me to "scrub" with a washcloth in the shower.
