You can be reassured that there is no known connection between newborn mastitis and future breast cancer.

Mastitis is usually treated with antibiotics, although inciscion and drainage of an abscess may be indicated under certain circumstances.  You should discuss your concerns about future breast development openly with your pediatrician.
