What Could Cause Constant Draining Nipples, Swollen And Itchy Nipples?

Hello my name is Martin and since my sophomore year in high school I have noticed that my nipples are like open wounds I don't know how they got that way but they drain continuously and I can't stop it. I think they are swollen because when I get cold they hurt really bad and they itch and I just wanna know what's going on?
