Hi.
Welcome to Health care Magic.

Well, it needs a clinical examination to come to the exact diagnosis.
However the differential diagnosis for pain and stinging sensation in one nipple may be.
1. Bacterial mastitis.
2. Local trauma.
3. Hematoma formation.
4. Boil.

And accordingly you may have to use a good analgesic along with oral antibiotic to get the relief.

Hope this helps.
If you have any other questions, then i will be happy to answer them.

Take care.

Regards.
Dr. Surender sharma.
