Hello,I understand your problem .
Boil on nipples may be due to some bacterial skin infection or in built breast lesion.
If it is a skin problem you can use neomycin or soframycin ointment.
It could be due to breast lump which is inside,carefully examine yourself by palpating your breast by Palm.
If you felt anything do not neglect kindly consult a surgeon and get a mammogram.
Hope this will help you,thank you.
