I would like to know from you about few things.
Are you getting any discharge from the nipples? And if there is any lump like feeling? Or cracking of the skin?

Secondly, I will suggest you to apply antibacterial and antifungal ointment locally thrice a day for 5 days.
Keep the parts clean and dry.
Do continue with your medical line of treatment as before.
