You should see an oncologist. Hard to tell from the photograph. Good signs are that you have had it for just 2 weeks. May need an imaging study and remember almost all early-stage breast cancers (if that is what it is) are curable
Most likely an infected hair follicle.
Hello,
It’s a good thing that you are doing a breast self examination because early lesions are most treatable when they are found in early stages. However, the possibilities are multiple. If this lump has been present for only two weeks.it is unlikely to be cancer. Most likely it is a cyst that is forming or a reaction to a bug bite. However, the only way to be certain is to perform a needle biopsy and send the tissue to a pathologist to examine. I would also recommend that any tissue obtained be sent for cultures. The results of this examination and biopsy will determine the correct treatment course to recommend.
You need to make an appointment with your doctor and let this person examine the lump that you have found.
Good luck.
