Help! My nipple is falling off!

Sorry for the shocking subject...hoping to get your attention and I guess it worked lol. LO is 9 months old. I had wanted to BF until at least a year.  My nipple is seriously about to fall off! It started with a small tear at the base of the nipple and every time he eats or I pump it opens back up and tears more. I'm at my whits end. I've tried creams, manual expression, changing positions and went back to basics with his latch. Nothing is helping. I literally have blood in the bottle when I pump. I'm open to any suggestions at this point. TIA!
