A lump in the breast requires triple evaluation in the form of examination, mammograms and needle aspiration. A burning lump could be an abscess or fibroadenosis or malignancy. As it was present earlier and has now developed symptoms, it has more risk of malignancy. This increases if your age is more than 45. It requires an examination by a doctor with further investigation if suspicious.
