Hi!
welcome to HCM!
Pain in areolar area of short duration is rarely cancerous,you might be having subareolar abscess.you must get examined and start treatment but without worry.
A mammogram is an x-ray picture of the breast,it can be used for screening or for diagnostic purposes if required.
hope this helps!Take care!
