Look into washable cotton or bamboo breast pads, I know cotton ones can be found at Motherhood and there are tons of Etsy shops that make them in different fabrics as well (Bamboobies are very popular as well). You are likely having a reaction to the absorbent chemicals in the disposable pads. Keep in mind that this may be a familial sensitivity - watch for diaper rash in your little one from the harsh chemicals. Cloth can save you tons of discomfort and a LOT of money in the long run - good luck!

Call your doctor....it could be a couple of things but it's better to get it checked now before it gets worse!
