HI.
You should be concerned for two reasons.

Any limp in the breast has to be investigated as to what is the reason.

I would suggest you to go for
*Clinical examination by a Surgeon.
*Ultrasonography and Mammography
*FNAC= fine needle aspiration cytology.
* Biopsy if the report of any of the above is suspicious .
IF you follow this protocol, You will be happy to get a firm diagnosis.
Proper diagnosis leads to a proper treatment and understanding whether the disease is a malignant or non-malignant.
