TMI pic; Sensitive Nipple Pls Help!

harmony

There’s this little spot on my nipple and it’s white after baby eats. It hurts for the first like 20 seconds when my son latches and when I showered the other day it seemed like a layer of skin came off. Is this something I have to bring up to a lactation specialist? Or will it just heal on its own. It’s been about 5 days. Thank you!
