Question: I have a patient who underwent a needle biopsy of a galactocele. A week later, she continues to leak fluid from the entry site on the upper lateral aspect of her breast. I don’t know much about galactoceles. How does she get the entry site to heal so that it will stop leaking?

Information about topical Bactroban (mupiricin) use for nipple trauma
Question:
I am a Public Health Nurse working to support breastfeeding families. A physician has asked for information about topical Bactroban (mupiricin) use for nipple trauma. I shared information about this drug from Thomas Hale’s, Medication and Mother’s Milk. Are there any additional research/articles regarding Bactroban that I can reference?
Also, I am familiar with the All Purpose Nipple Ointment (APNO), however, in a situation where the all purpose nipple ointment does not seem to be effective, might there be an advantage to trying Bactroban on its own?
