Dry skin: It could be dry skin. Just like the rest of your body, your nipple also needs to get some moisturizer. Some other condition affecting the skin like eczema, infection etc can also affecting the nipple areas. Apply some body moisturizer to the nipple . If it is not helping - go to see your doctor to get it checked.
