What Does Whitehead On Nipple Area Of An Infant Means?
I have a 4 month old baby girl with what appears to be an infection (looks like a whitehead for lack of a more precise description) in one nipple area. There is no redness and she hasn't had any fever. Do we need to do anything to address the issue?

As far as there are no symptoms you need not worry. but you have to keep the baby under observation, and if any symptoms like oozing of pus or any itching develops then you need to take her to a qualified dermatologist.till then keep the baby neat with daily baths and powdering.
