Hi,
Apparently it looks like having some infection in piercing area giving you this trouble.
But as this occurred after so many years, we should rule out any pathology in the breast at this age.
Consult Gynaec and get examined.
Go for mammography.
Meanwhile take one course of antibiotic to cure infection.
Ok and take care.
