Thrush or nipple damage? Help!

Question

My son is 12 days old and had a bad latch. I’ve been working with a LC to fix it. My nipples were so red cracked and damaged she has me using a shield to nurse and pumping more. 
My question is this. My nipples now look like this after nursing/pumping or a hot shower. Anyone know what this is? Is it damage from the bad latch healing or is it something like thrush?

Answer

Nipple damage. Mine looks very similar. Finally got my little's latch corrected and hoping it'll heal fast as initial latch on still hurts like hell. I rub breast milk on it let it dry and then apply nipple cream. Also be sure to use non plastic lined breast pads.

Answer

Looks more like nipple damage to me, i had a milk blister the other day and about died. With working on her latch very diligently the last couple days with much resistance from her little butt, were finally starting to heal but man it has been a struuuuugle!
