Call your PCP: You should call your PCP and be seen on Monday morning. They should reefer you to a breast specialist for evaluation.

Pcp: PCP. Chances are Er will send you to your PCP if not acutely sick otherwise. If unable to get in fast, would recommend Urgent Care.

Be seen today: This sound like a mastitis which is an infection in the breast tissue. If you can see your PCP today then go there but if not then the ER or convient care center.
