What Does A Painful Lump On The Areola Indicate?

I found a painful lump you can see to the right of my nipple on my areola. I have eczema and thought it just was from me scratching. It hasn t gone away or got better, but now the skin on my breast is turning red around it. How concerned should I be? I research two things that sounds the closet, infection and non cancerous wart like tumor.
