Estela Bauhardt

Breastfeeding is a vital aspect of maternal-infant health, promoting optimal nutrition and bonding. However, many women experience challenges, such as nipple fissures and pain, which can significantly impact the breastfeeding experience. This abstract provides an overview of contemporary skin treatments designed for the prevention and alleviation of nipple fissures and associated pain in breastfeeding women. The review incorporates a comprehensive analysis of recent literature, encompassing studies published between 2010 and 2022, sourced from databases including PubMed, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library. Keywords such as "nipple fissures," "breastfeeding pain," and "skin treatment" were utilized in the search strategy. Skin treatments targeting nipple fissures and pain mitigation were categorized into several key modalities. Emollient-based therapies, such as lanolin and medical-grade breast creams, have been widely studied for their moisturizing and protective effects on nipple skin. Silicone nipple shields, another prevalent intervention, offer a physical barrier and aid in reducing friction during breastfeeding. The analysis explores the efficacy of hydrogel dressings and their role in promoting wound healing and pain relief. Additionally, studies on the application of human milk, with its inherent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, as a natural remedy for nipple fissures, are discussed. Furthermore, the abstract delves into the importance of early detection and intervention in preventing the progression of nipple damage. Education and support programs that empower breastfeeding women with proper latch techniques and postpartum care strategies are emphasized. In conclusion, this overview highlights the evolving landscape of skin treatments aimed at preventing and alleviating nipple fissures and pain in breastfeeding women. The integration of evidence-based interventions, coupled with education and support initiatives, holds promise for improving the overall breastfeeding experience. As healthcare professionals strive to enhance maternal-infant well-being, these advancements in skin treatment contribute to a holistic approach in promoting successful and comfortable breastfeeding practices
