Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Your age of 19 and twice the appearance of the painful lump under right nipple indicate that you may have one of the following problems:
-This can be due a sebaceous cyst and your fiddling with it caused it to grow and cause pain.
-Gynecomastia is another possibility.
I would advise you the following:
Get examined by the General Surgeon and get this removed for 2 reasons:
1. You get rid of the problem.
2 you get a certain diagnosis.
