General & Family Physician 's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is possible that the lesion may be due to an abscess or cysts in the breast.

It would be best to see your doctor for an assessment. You would likely need antibiotic therapy.

Incision may also be needed.

I hope this helps
