Ask almost anyone who has breast fed a baby and you’ll hear about nipple trauma: cracking , redness, bleeding, pain. In this study they compared using lanolin cream to aloe gel. Not surprising to anyone who has used Aloe gel on a burn but they found “Aloe gel can significantly alleviate the pain associated with nipple trauma in lactating women, accelerate wound healing, and reduce the duration of nipple trauma.”
