Abscess or cyst: There could be an abscess , pus collection, or a cyst or fluid collection or mastitis or an infection of your breast gland get this checked out with your primary file need an ultrasound to determine if you need something to be drained or biopsied. Do not ignore this. You may also need antibiotics. Good luck.

Also could be...: Gynecomastia which is a temporary sore breast lump that sometimes occurs in young men. Usually on one side, tender to touch without skin redness. I also agree with the possibilities described by dr. Sarraga. Best to be seen by your doctor for an evaluation.
