Welcome to health care magic.
1.The history and ultrasound procedure finding suggest - breast abscess with features of complications.
2.It looks like there was an abscess - which was drained through ultrasound guided but it has reinfected again / complicated.
3.In this case the next step will be - a small incision and drainage of the collection / pus under all aseptic conditions.
4.Followed by a course of antibiotic treatment will be definitive treatment for your recurrence.
5.Mean while do not disturb the lump by pressing - as you will delay the healing process and you will complicate it in that way.
Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query,
any thing to ask ? do not hesitate to ask.
