Brief Answer:
Could be breast abscess

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing..
I understand your concern..

For what was hysterectomy done.. If it was done for benign condition, it is unlikely to affect the breast..

It sounds like a breast abscess to me.. Breast abscess are usually painful and will be tender to touch..

Consult a surgeon to see whether it a breast abscess.. If so, it will require drainage..

Hope I have answered your query.. Feel free to ask any doubts.. Good day..
