hi.
it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for medical and physical examination. based from your description, it could be a cyst, a benign breast lesion. it could also be a fibroma or fibrocystic lesion. other tumor types such as malignancy must also be ruled out (hence, the need for a tissue diagnosis thru a biopsy). these lesions are best evaluated clinically. further diagnostic examinations, such as breast ultrasound and mammography and biopsy (needle or open biopsy), will be requested as needed. regular breast examination and follow-up with your doctor is highly recommended in these cases. management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
