Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
A breast lump is a mass under the breast skin or tissue ,it can be different things ,with different types mostly are simple not serious and small percentage serious ,that depend on the description of the lump ,its size small or big ,getting bigger in size or constant or decreasing in size ,duration of the lump presence ,movable or not ,rigid or soft ,attached to the skin or not,its position ,other associated symptoms ,mammography finding,core biopsy if needed ,or other investigation procedures if the appearance and manifestations are not clear .
There may be several possibilities ,this is a brief description to approach near possibility and diagnose look which you have :

If Oval-shaped lump that moves under the skin when touched >> Fibroadenoma

These can affect women of any age, though are most common in those aged 20 to 30. They are formed when healthy gland and connective breast tissue clump together.
This lump, which is usually 1-2 cm wide, can be moved around within a small area in the breast.They can occur anywhere in the breast but are most common in the upper outer section
It do not increase the risk of cancer so they can safely be left alone except if there is symptoms.
I suggest you have this

IF Hard lump that occurs after major bruising>>Fat necrosis (hardened fat) it wil subside alone and can be due to injury to the breast

IF A sore, squishy lump that appears suddenly>>A breast cyst these are filled with fuid skin around abit red ,the fluid can be drained by a doctor with a small needle

If Small lump that can move under the skin >> A lipoma, These painless lumps, which feel soft and squishy, can be found all over the body, except the palms and the soles of the feet (because there is no fat in these areas)Small lipomas of 1-2cm may be left as they are harmless larger removed .

If Hot, red, painful lump when breastfeeding>> A breast abscess
IF Firm, round lump that moves under skin>>Phyllodes tumour
90% of cases benign whereas 10% malignant ,it is usually removed surgically and tested for cancer

If Small, rigid lump under nipple>>An adenoma of the breast.it looks like fibroadenoma but not movable on touching it can hurt ,it sould be removed or tested through core biopsy for exact diagnose

If soft lump no bigger than 5-6cm across>> A hamartoma

SO try to figure what lump do you have through appearance if don't recognize it or you are worried make a visit to a gynecologist for physical examination and image .
however ,if your lump is rigid attached to skin growing bigger change over time go and check with doctor to confirm a diagnose
