After pregnancy, the secretion of hormones in the body of women will undergo varying degrees of changes, which will gradually cause some differences in the organs of the female body before pregnancy. Especially, the mammary gland will continue to show different types of changes with the increase of pregnancy, such as the phenomenon of milk scab. So, how to deal with milk scab during pregnancy?
1. Wash with warm water. The appearance of milk crusts is due to the vigorous secretion of sebaceous glands in women's bodies during pregnancy, which makes it difficult for the milk crusts on the nipples to fall off on their own. Women can use warm water to regularly scrub and keep them clean, but try not to use their fingers to remove them, otherwise it may cause other adverse effects or pain on the nipples.
2. Hot compress. During pregnancy, women's mammary glands have been increasing as the pregnancy progresses, preparing for the upcoming delivery and breastfeeding. Therefore, if a woman's mammary glands experience swelling and pain in addition to scabs, hot towel compression can be used to promote blood circulation in the mammary glands and also facilitate the automatic shedding of scabs.
3. Apply vegetable oil. Some women's milk crusts do not automatically fall off as expected, but continue to exist. This can be achieved by applying a moderate amount of vegetable oil to gradually soften the milk crusts, and then gradually fall off automatically, or gradually fall off during a warm water bath afterwards.
