Hi

This may be infected. I suggest that you have this assessed by your doctor immediately. An allergic reaction may also be considered if you have foreign objects attached to the nipples. A topical antibacterial cream or gel may be helpful. At this point, keep the area dry and avoid touching or picking on the areas as this may only cause further irritation.
