Hello!
Thank you for the query.
If you have fever, shivers, pain in the cyst area, you should consult a doctor right away as the infection can spread to the bloodstream.
Please note that there is a breast cancer type called inflammatory cancer. It can act like a inflamed cyst. So you should consult a surgeon or gynecologist with it, ultrasound should be done and biopsy.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
