Welcome to Healthcare-Magic and thanks for the query.
You just need to do mamography and ultrasound check because it is not possible to know what it is without further tests. I dont think this is cancer because it is arrely diagnosed after mastitis occur but it is possible of course. it may also be breast abscess and then surgical drainage is necessary
Wish you good health.
