Hello,
These symptoms can be due to the bumps which are Montgomery tubercles to be rubbing against the clothes especially if they are tight. However given your family history it is important to rule out any infection or cysts under the nipple if the symptoms persist or worsen.
Wear cotton clothes which are loose fitting and use mild soaps. Also apply calamine lotion. If the symptoms persist then get it checked from a gynecologist.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

It could be a little infection, but it should be checked for cancer too. Good time for a check.
