It might be a sebaceous cyst which got infected recently. You may need antibiotics and analgesics for a short duration followed by removal of the lump.
Next Steps
You may consult a surgeon to evaluate the lump to make sure it is not a malignant lymph node. You may also do a self breast examination to feel for any lumps.
Health Tips
If you proceed with excision of the lump make sure you send the it for a biopsy
