Hi thanks for contacting HCM...
Noted right side lump present ...over breast region....
It might lead mentioned symptom by compression of underlying structures....
First nature of mass has to be decided by USG of local part it will also help in revealing extension of mass..
Then FNAC done....It will reveal whether mass is neoplastic or inflammatory or infective....
If needed for confirmation biopsy taken...
According to cause treatment guided.
If malignant mass then modified radical mastectomy needed...
For abcess antibiotic or incision and drainage done...
Take care.
