The negative mammogram is very encouraging, but you should consider having a doctor do a small biopsy of the nipple. There are some inflammatory conditions that can cause pain in the nipple, most are easily treated with steroid cream. However, there are rare forms of cancer that can manifest that way, and would be found on a biopsy, and this could happen even with a negative mammogram. So i think you should see your doctor and discuss this. I hope this was helpful to you, please let me know if I can further assist you.
