A retrospective analysis of debridement in the treatment of chronic injury of lactating nipples

Abstract Treatment strategies for nipple injury are mainly based on aetiology. However, some damaged nipples do not heal after the aetiology was corrected. This study retrospectively analyses the effect of debridement for treating chronic injury of lactating nipples. The medical records on nipple in...
