Hi,
I would strongly doubt that you have "Paget Disease of the nipple"
Your nipple redness is most probably due to inflammation/irritation when you accidentally caught it with your nail.
Apply a little Neosporin and cover your nipple with a sterile pad for a few days to protect it from clothing rubbing the skin and see how it goes.
If the redness persists please see your Doctor …Your nipple could be infected and you would need medication for that.
Take care…
