Will a Bleb Go on Its Own?

If you do get a milk bleb, try to breastfeed through it. The bleb should go away on its own within a few weeks. However, if breastfeeding is too painful or a bleb does not get better, call your provider. They can help you get the appropriate treatment.

How long does it take for a milk bleb to go away?

Most of the time, you don't have to do anything, and the milk bleb will go away on its own within about 48 hours.

Should you pop a milk bleb?

Is it safe to 'pop' a clogged milk duct or milk blister with a needle? To put it simply: No. Popping a milk blister can lead to infection, and the risk is much higher if you do it yourself.
