Left nipple red, swollen in one area and very sore

Left nipple red, swollen in one area and very sore

I am 34. Not pregnant and I woke up this morning to a sore nipple. My left nipple is red, swollen and in one area the pain is dreadful. When it rubs against my bra its unbearable. Just that one area of the nipple is swollen, there is also a little white bump beside that particular area. I'm debating on going to the ER ( I'm not too sure if it's serious or not). It is now under a band-aide to prevent rubbing. Please help! Oh, it seems as if I'm getting a yeast infection also. I also have rheumatoid arthritist.

Hi,
Pain in the nipple may indicate infection, or it could result from injury or friction. While nipple pain is not usually serious, you should see a doctor because if the nipple is infected it needs to be treated.  
I hope it's nothing serious,but it's always better to make sure.
Take care..
