What Causes A Cyst On The Right Breast?

I'm a 17 year old girl, 5'0, around 110 pounds. I have a cyst of the skin on my right breast. I've been to my doctor, who prescribed me medication (Augmentin), but the lump just got bigger, more painful and red. After a sonogram, she told me to continue with the antibiotics and I'm scheduled to see her in two weeks. If the cyst persists, I'm told I have to get it removed. However, recently, the skin on and around it started to peel, and I think I may have broken the skin because it started to bleed, and what looked like pus and an pily substance came out as well. Most of it has stopped, although I put a bandage on it if it continues. Should I be worried or is this sommething that just happens?

You may have some inflammatory cystic lesion in your breast or itvmay be abscess formation. You should complete the course of antibiotics. If it doesn't respond to treatment then you should go for biopsy and then you should take treatment accordingly.
