All Purpose Nipple Ointment is a combination of ingredients that seems to help many causes of sore nipples, including poor latch, Candida (yeast), dermatologic conditions, infections of the nipple with bacteria and possibly other causes as well. It is always good, however, to try to assure the best latch possible, because improving the latch helps with any cause of pain.

This is compounded in our pharmacy and contains; mupirocin, betamethasone, nystatin, and sometimes miconazole - available by prescription from The Compounder. We have made some formulations with clotrimazole instead of miconazole.

The compounded ointment is applied sparingly after each feeding (except the feeding when the mother uses gentian violet). Do not wash or wipe it off
