What Does A Lump Under The Right Breast Indicate?

Hi, I have a large bump under my right breast, located on my rib cage. It seems like it might be a boil. I squeezed it and a little puss came out. It is painful. There are no other symptoms. There is no swelling anywhere else. On top of the bump is a tiny black spot no bigger than a pin head where the puss is coming from.
