Brief Answer:
Hello dear. You require triple assessment.
Detailed Answer:
As you are an elderly female, i would like to rule out a tumor of breast.
For this , a triple assessment including clinical examination, mammogram(xray of the breasts) and a biopsy is required. That can tell with certainty what actually you are suffering from.
Please do not worry. Even if turns out to be cancer, effective treatment is still possible.
