Nipple pain

For the last year I have had consistent pain on my right nipple. Every time I press or run my finger over it there is pain. The pain only lasts just short of a second and then it's gone. But every time I touch it or my boyfriend tries to lick/ suck it it's sends me into agony. So we stopped. I used to get sensation in my nipple when my boyfriend would suck/ lick them, but now there's nothing but an uncomfortable feeling. My left nipple is fine. I have noticed that this past 8 months my nipple in the middle of it has started to go like the colour of my skin. I am quite fair, and not pink like my other nipple. Does this mean anything? As I said this is all the time so it's not due to my cycle. I am 20 years old and I have a history of breast cancer in my family. It's hard to tell if I have lumps because I get cysts in both of my boobs, because I once went to the doctor thinking I had been riddled in breast cancer, but she told me some girls get cysts in their boobs etc. I know what I am looking for, since I'm educated on it from my mother and Nanna who have both had great cancer. I just don't know what this is. Thanks in advance :)

I would definitely get that checked out, especially since there's a history of breast cancer

Lumps are not the only symptom of breast cancer. Other symptoms we are supposed to look out for are changes of the nipples including their colour, shape and feel. Even changes to the skin of the breast. You are well overdue a check up, i wouldnt delay any more than you already have.
