Hello,
Thanks for the concern. You have lump in the right breast near nipple beneath the skin. For lump in breast you have to watch it for few days give hot compresses twice daily. If still it persist than you have to do mammography, ultrasound and Fine needle aspiration.
At present you can take pain killers for symptomatic relief. So immediately consult your treating surgeon, get investigated and start treatment accordingly.
Hope this might help you. Take care.
