Hello
It appears from your complaints and the ultrasound that you are probably not having any serious problem. You have not made a mention on the size of the mass, mobility, consistency. If the lesion is small, mobile, soft, then you need not bother much as it is just a benign lesion. Keep a watch on the lesion, if you feel there is a sudden increase in the size or if it gets fixed to the underlying tissue or there is bloody discharge from nipple or retraction of nipple, then you need to consult a doctor to evaluate the nature of lesion. Most of the lesions of breast which are cancerous or precancerous are picked on a ultrasound or mammogram. However if you are still in doubt then it could be clarified on FNAC( fine needle aspiration).
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
