Hi and welcome to HCM, thanks for the query.
Well,pain is not specific sign and most cysts in breats are painful on touch,especially if this is inflammated cyst. so to determine malignancy you need to do some tests such as ultrasound or biopsy.If you have these cysts for long time then it is not likely to be malignant. but frequent follow up is definitely recommened.
Wish you good health.Regards
