Red inflammed nipple in child may be due to many reasons like skin eczema,bacterial infection or simple harmonal changes. It is better you immediately take her to a paediatrician who will examine physically to decide the diagnosis.
You need to put cotton clothes on her,maintain proper body hygiene and avoid things that are causing allergy symptoms in her, and maintain her nutritional diet.
This condition seems alarming but most of the times it is not dangerous and you need to be calm to take proper action for your child.
