Hello dear

Understand your concern.
For exact diagnosis you should consult the surgeon and require breast examination

Following are the causes of your problem:
Hormonal imbalance
1. Fibroadenoma
2. Infection of breast tissue, breast abscess
3. Duct papiloma
4. Breast cyst
5. Breast cancer

I think you should consult the surgeon as early as possible for safer side:
You should go for following tests:
1. Breast examination
2. Pelvic examination
3. Mammography
4. MRI scan
5. Hormonal assay
6. USG
7. Biopsy from breast if needed.

Hope this may help you.
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
