<unk> s are classified as a breast disorder. The nipple is not only the structure to deliver milk to the infant, it also contains small, sebaceous glands or Montgomery glands to lubricate the skin of the areola.<unk> s are most often associated with breastfeeding and appear as cracks or small lacerations or breaks in the skin of the nipple. In some instances an ulcer will form. The nipple in a nursing mother is in regular contact with a nursing infant.<unk> s are trauma to the nipple and can be quite painful.<unk> s typically appear three to seven days after the birth. If the nipples appears to be wedge-shaped, white and flattened, this may indicate that the latch is not good and there is a potential of developing<unk> s. Complications Bacteria can enter the breast through<unk> s, which increase the risk of mastitis. Candida infection (thrush) of the nipple can also occur, resulting in deep-pink,<unk> , and sore nipples. Contraindications for breastfeeding Because<unk> s can result in the infant being exposed to blood, women with certain blood-borne diseases may be advised to stop breastfeeding if they have a<unk> . It has been found safe for breastfeeding mothers with hepatitis B and<unk> s to breastfeed. In the event that a nursing woman experiences<unk>  and bleeding nipples or breast inflammation within one to two weeks immediately following an acute Toxoplasmosis infection (when the organism is still circulating in her bloodstream), it is theoretically possible that she could transmit Toxoplasma gondii to the infant through her breast milk. Immune suppressed women could have circulating Toxoplasma for even longer periods of time. However, the likelihood of human milk transmission is very small. Transmission risk of HIV increases if the mother has<unk>  and bleeding nipples An uncommon infection in the mother, Chagas disease, can be transmitted to the nursing infant via<unk> s. Women with hepatitis C are advised to abstain from breastfeeding if their nipples are<unk>  or bleeding.
