Welcome to Health care magic.

1. At this age with the history suggest - possible cause could be some infective aetiology.
2.If your doctor has examined and said normal - probably its superficial.
3.In this case if you still doubtful then you can get a ultrasound scan done that will give you a clear picture - weather lesion / lump or not, source of the lump, its nature ( cyst, abscess, mass) and where all its extending will be clearly said.
4.Mamogram in your age is not recommended - Not advised.
5.If there is any lump / mass - an FNAC will be advised for cell nature to assess. ( fine needle aspiration cytology). Good luck.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
