Doctor: Best to have an examination to determine if there is any infection. You could go to your primary care provider, urgent care, or even an emergency department if you think it can't wait for a regular appointment.

Surgeon : I recommend you contact your primary doctor and ask for a referral to a breast or general surgeon. You should be evaluated for an infection.
