Brief Answer:
Ultrasound should be done.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.

Thank you for the query.

Such symptoms are caused either by a breast inflammation and abscess or inflammatory breast cancer. You definitelly should visit your doctor and have breast ultrasound done as soon as possible.
Biopsy might be necessary to rule out a cancer.

Hope this helps.
