Brief Answer:
see your doctor

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for this question.
Nipple pain is not a known side effect of either of these medications however the fact that it is white is concerning. It may be that it is not getting enough blood flow and that could be a result of one of the medications.
You need to speak to your doctor today or go in for an appointment and ask them if you need to stop taking the medication.
When tissues in the body do not get enough blood flow other complications like skin damage can occur.
Please talk to your doctor before continuing to take this medication and ask them how to proceed.
They may want to see you in the office today.
Regards,
Dr. Robinson
