Get yourself physically examined first. Mastitis usually happens in beast feeding women. And its easily treated with antibiotics. If the mastitis is not resolving and there is a mass in breast then doctor will suggest biopsy of fnac. In breast feeding women biopsy is not done. Fnac is advised first.
