Go to WalMart or similar store and in the baby aisle is a product called Lansinoh lanolin ointment/cream.
Get some and use it liberally on the sore areas today.
It is a product used by breastfeeding moms to combat nipple soreness/cracking/redness etc. It will help.
The first few days with the Dreamwear are also giving me a sore spot where the columella meets the philtrum (6).
I went to Walmart and asked the pharmacist for Lansinoh, and though he pointed me to a similar product, he was mostly all like \_(ツ)_/. I went all the way across to the other corner of the store to the baby section (hadn't been there in quite a while ), and found the Lansinoh myself.
I applied some
before putting the Dreamwear on last night. This morning seemed to be a bit better.
I'm wondering...
1. Might the Lansinoh interact with the silicone of the nosepiece after a while and cause it to deteriorate?
2. Would it be better to apply the Lansinoh only in the morning, after taking off the Dreamwear?
3. Should I keep at it, (with or without the Lansinoh?) and just toughen up, buttercup?
