Brief Answer:
Hi and welcome to HCM

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the query.
I dont think that you should be concerned since at this localisation we rarely see something serious,but further management is necessary just to rule out possible complications. Most commonly wee see benigns cysts,fibromas or lipomas at this area. If there is pain,redness or swelling around this then it could be abscess. if not then you should do ultrasound and mamography in future to see consistency of this knot. WIsh you good health. Regards
