Hello,
Welcome to health care magic
Red hot and painful lump on left breast below nipple suggest inflammation. I.e. Infected.It requires antibiotic and antiinflammatory medicines and surgeons opinion.
For her precocious puberty she needs to be thoroughly evaluated to find out central Vs peripheral cause and then treatment of it.They sometimes benefit from GNRH analogue support.By which they can atain adult height.For that take pediatric endocrinologist opinion
