Hello,
Most breast swellings are caused by an infection of the breast, but it also depends on your age. Breast cancer can also present itself as swelling of the breast, nipple discharge and skin changes among many. It's very smart you called your GP and can get it properly checked out.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
