What is causing a lump on my breast?

I am a 24-year-old female and I have a lump on my left breast that has turned purple and grown bigger. It started about three months ago, but only recently started to turn purple.

You need to go to the doctor right away. This could be simply a skin infection that's gotten worse but given the location and the duration you must have a rule out for cancer.
At your age it is likely to be a cyst but with your breast involved you must be seen in your primary care office as soon as possible.
You need to make an appointment at your PCP office for further testing.
