I've had this problem myself and found it was

1) my bra lace
2) dry nipple - moisturise

maybe mastitius, caused by either breastfeeding or through chafing of the nipple!

Mastitis is a lot more than a sore nipple.

Look at your bra, especially where the seam is in relation to your nipple.

could just be allergy to bra or washing powder. Powder with athletes foot powder (antiseptic) to heal and relieve itching.

if you want my opinion I'd say you have an infection in your milk ducts. antibiotics.

but expect to be referred to the hospital for a thorough check up as a matter of routine.

best of luck x
