Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that this can be an enlarge lymphnode.It can be due to infection. I would also suggest you to show it to a breast expert and he may advised you to get needle test or a ultrasound of the breast.It will give us final conclusion if you need any further treatment.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
