Brief Answer:
Ultrasound should be done.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.

Thank you for the query.

Such symptoms are most likely caused by a cyst or inflammation in this area. Breast ultrasound is the first test to be done. Cyst can be drained. Inflammation may need an antibiotic treatment.

Hope this helps.
