blister on nipple??

My nipple has been hurting a lot and I noticed a white almost speck on the side of the nipple not where the milk comes out on the tip but on the side and it burns like a blister. I don't think it's a milk blister bc it's not where the milk comes out but I'm not sure and i don't think it's a friction one bc they don't seem to be white. Any ideas on what it could be?
