This could be caused by a yeast infection. Commonly referred to as thrush when it in on the nipples; thrush can cause redness, breast/nipple pain, and itch.

It's best to see a doctor so s/he can prescribe medication to treat it.

Yeast is very resistant so it's important to take every precaution not to be reinfected after treatment.

This can mean washing everything that has come into contact with your breasts with a bit of vinegar and dry it on the highest heat setting.
