Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have soreness and small lump below the right breast. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like fibroadenoma , breast cyst or breast abscess . I would suggest you to consult gynecologist for proper examination . Doctor may will examine physically to check tenderness and consistency . Doctor may order biopsy or mammogram to rule out any malignancy . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics at least for 5 days along with anti inflammatory or may recommend surgical excision or may recommend radiotherapy . For now apply over the counter antibiotics ointment and keep it clean and dry .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
