You must not apply any ointment for that. Just express your own breast milk and moisten the area around the nipple with that. This is the method advocated by most Lactation Counsellor's and Doctor. Because whatever you apply on your nipple has a chance of getting into your little one's tummy no matter how well you wipe it of.

Seek expert help if the soreness persist or worsen
