What Does Painful Boil Near Nipple Area During Pregnancy Indicate?

Hi my name is sarah I am 30 weeks pregnant and I woke up with a boil looking b ump on my areola near my nipple area. It hurts very much and I just wanted to know what is it and how can I get rid of it. It hurts very bad when touched or when my nipples gets on hard or even when I shower. It started out as a small bump 3 days ago and now is as big as my nipple.
