Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. Painful lesions are usually due to inflammatory or infective causes and not due to cancer. At your age, non-cancerous breast lesions like fibroadenosis or fibroadenoma are often encountered. It is likely that you have one of those. Usually such lesions do not need to be treated but to be on the safe side I would recommend you to visit a general surgeon and get it examined.

Feel free to write back in case of further queries.
