What Causes Sensitive Nipple, Hard Under Skin Of Nipple And Entire Areola?

Hi. I have had a very sensitive nipple and was hard underneath the skin under the nipple, the entire areola. It is not hard or as sensitive now, but this morning after my shower I noticed puss oozing from my nipple and now there is blood and puss stains in my bra. What could be going on and should I be worried?
