Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Delayed periods can be due to pregnancy, hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism, hyperprolactemia or polycystic ovarian disease or can be due to stress.
Sore nipples and white heads around it can be due to hormonal disturbances like hyperprolactemia.
I will suggest you to get an urine pregnancy test done, if negative, then you should get your hormonal profile done and get appropriate treatment timely.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Regards
