Hello,
* Crusting scab around left nipple indicates skin infection with staphylococcus aureus bug most likely giving secondary changes. And it is not a sign of pregnancy for sure.
Kindly consult an expert dermatologist for the cure of the same, till that time, you can apply aloe vera cream after antiseptic cleansing for better healing.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
