Raised vein in areola?

Ever since I started breastfeeding I have a raised vein that goes across my right areola. Every time my baby nurses it is tender afterwards and sore. Does anyone else have this problem? Is it normal? I’m worried the baby will somehow damage it by always putting pressure on it.
