I would advise you to consult a doctor for proper examination and evaluation.
A breast lump may be due to several conditions. You need to see a doctor, for a thorough history to asses your risk, physical examination, ultrasound breasts. Depending on the findings, some lumps need a biopsy. I note that this question was posted 2 months ago, in May 2020! I hope that you have already gotten this attended to!
