Recurrence of fibroadenoma
Fibroadenomas can recur or new ones can develop, especially in younger women.
2. Breast infection / inflammation (mastitis, abscess, blocked duct, even without lactation)
Can cause swelling, pain, burning, sometimes associated with fatigue/fever.
3. Axillary lymph node enlargement
Due to infection, inflammation, or (rarely) malignancy.
4. Breast malignancy (needs to be ruled out at this age)
New lump/swelling with burning or persistent pain should always be investigated to exclude breast cancer.

✅ What to Do
Clinical Breast Examination (CBE) by a surgeon or breast specialist.
Breast + Axilla Ultrasound (first-line, safe, quick).
Mammogram (age >35, recommended if ultrasound shows suspicious features).
FNAC / Biopsy if any suspicious lump is detected.
---
⚠️ Red Flags (need urgent check)
Lump is hard, irregular, or fixed.
Swelling persists or grows.
Nipple discharge (especially bloody).
Skin dimpling, redness, or retraction.
Persistent fatigue, weight loss.

👉 In summary
This could be a benign recurrence (fibroadenoma) or inflammatory process, but because of your age (36) and the presence of new swelling in breast + axilla, it is essential to rule out malignancy. The next step should be consulting a breast surgeon for examination + ultrasound/mammogram.
