Brief Answer:
You should get investigated

Detailed Answer:
Hi
At 26 years of age,lump in the Breast could most probably be a Benign condition, Fibroadenoma.
FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) will give a clue regarding the nature of the swelling.If it is inconclusive,the swelling should be completely removed and send it for Histopathological examination (Biopsy)
Please consult a Surgeon and proceed further.
Nothing to worry
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions,I will clarify further
