Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

* The presentation of narrated symptoms suggest that there is
possibility of inflammation in the area over breast which can be a
lesion in form of boil or others.

* Till you meet your doc, I recommend following guidelines for you as
- Keep the part clean with antiseptic liquid, dry.
- Can apply Clotrimazole ( 1 % ) powder 2-3 times a day.
- Tablet ibuprofen 3 times a day after meals, if no history of drug sensitivity.
- Wear loose, clean, cotton inner wears.

Hope I have answered your query.
