Red Knot on breast

I have a large red lump on my breast that is close to my nipple. It is my right breast and it is on the side of it. It is very sore and very red and it has a knot under it. All in All it is about the size of a 50 cent piece. I just noticed it today. I am very worried. Do you have any advice?
                                    Sincerely,
                                     Amber

I just wanted to let you know that this is not something to fool around with.When you have any discomfort in your breasts or and abnormalites you need to see a Dr. right away.I was nervous too when I found a lump and didn't go for 4 months now I am regretting it.It is now worst than I thought.I  thought that I was too young for this at 30.I have come to find out that there alot of young people getting breast cancer at a ery younger age now.Our diet and lifestyles need to change or we will find more and more or this .Please go and have the Dr. do a breast exam.If they dont find anything then great, but atleast you will know where you stand.Please go and get a apt. as soon as possible.Please understand that there is alot of us going through the same thing.we'll be there.

Dear Amber:  Without examination, it is impossible to speculate on what this might be.  There are many possibilities.  Our recommendation is to schedule an appointment to see a doctor.
