Hi,
This certainly doesn't sound like breast cancer.
These white blister that appear on the nipple, commonly at the tip, could be quite painful and often occurs to breast feeding mothers.The most common reason for these pimple like blisters is improper nursing, a plugged duct or by skin blocking a milk duct.
Applying very warm compresses to the blister before nursing can help,but if the blister persists, you can go to your health care professional to treat it.
Since this Forum deals only with breast cancer issues,I think that the Forum I am suggesting( please click on the link below) would be much more helpful and informative if you posted there.

Hoping this helps and best wishes to you and the baby..
