When Does A Painful Lump On The Right Breast Need Medical Intervention?

I have a painful lump in my right breast, mid-cleavage. Not long ago I had a blemish there but it drained (there was pus) but there was no pain. Now it s back and painful. I have tried to relieve whatever is there by squeezing the area, but very little pus comes out. How long should I wait before I seek medical attention?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history and understood your concerns.
The recurrence of a sinus like formation in the right breast needs immediate medical attention and an opinion of a General Surgeon for clinical evaluation, examination and if needed total; excision of the lump for the following reasons:
You get rid of the disease.
You get a confirmed diagnosis about the disease that caused you the problem by histopathology examination.
Appropriate diagnosis and treatment is very much needed even to rule out cancer that can present like this.
