Go to your doctor: Most breast lumps are benign, but you should have this evaluated to make sure that it is not malignant. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/breast-lumps/my00165.

Breast lumps: Not all breast lumps or masses are malignant. Breast lumps/masses should be evaluated by a doctor and biopsied, if necessary, to see what they are and treat them accordingly.
