What Causes Inflamed Nipple With Red Ring Around It?

I am a 36 year old male with an inflamed left nipple with a red ring around it. It is very painful. Problem is ongoing for 2 days now. I recently spent most of a day in a life jacket which is the only cause of irritation I can think of, but I'm not sure that is really the problem, as the irritation didn't begin until about two days later.
