Hello and welcome to HealthcareMagic..

I thank you for posting your query here and I'm definitely going to help you out..

I being a surgeon, we encounter so many such cases day in and day out..
I read your question completely and have understood it well enough..

I strongly feel that you are suffering from Breast Abscess or Evolving Abscess.

This needs Oral or IV antibiotics and if pus is formed, then probably surgical drainage..

Hope this helps you...
Please contact me directly by searching my profile Dr Manjunath Metri in case you need further assistance.
Take care..
