Brief Answer:
Breast ultrasound is necessary.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Your symptoms are most likely caused by some infection of this breast. It may be a cyst or an abscess. This are the most probable issues.
However as there is a cancer which can act like infection (called inflammatory breast cancer) you can not ignore this symptoms.
I suggest you to consult gynecologist. Breast ultrasound should be done at first. If its an abscess, should be drained. If a lump will be found, biopsy should be done.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
