Brief Answer:
dryness leads to burning
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
There are a lot of glands around the nipple that keeps it moist. If the nipple is dry so it can cause burning. Since you are very young female and absolutely healthy there is no reason to worry. Most often there are some local causes which cannot be explained with out examination. However they are mostly benign.
I suggest you to try simple home remedies like apply petroleum jelly over the surrounding area every 6 hours.
Hope this helps.
