Is this a spot like a pimple or other skin infection?  Read this guide to nipple issues to see if you need to call the doctor.  If you are running a fever, call the doctor right away.  Otherwise, you can probably watch to see if it gets better on its own.  If it doesn't heal in a week or two, call the doctor.
