Purple, Painful Lump/Bump on Left breast (Under)

So I have had this purplish bruise type thing for about 4/5 months, At first it looked like just a little bruise, I thought, OH! It was probably the wire from my bra, it will go away. During this time, the purple got lighter, so I thought it had to be a bruise. Well while changing I caught a glipse in the mirror of this dark purple thing again. This time it has stayed.

There is no real "lump" to it if you just ran you hand over it, but if you poke it, it feels a little lumpy. When touched it hurts (and stings a little). It's a little bit larger then a Pencil Eraser.

I have made a doctors Appointment, but they can't see my until Monday (I don't feel its an emergency to rush to the ER), but was hoping if maybe anyone else has had this? or knows what it might be.

I have attached some photos also.

looks like a boil and/or ingrown hair to me. this has happened to me. it can also be a sweat gland that has gotten somewhat infected [no worries, nothing harmful] and what not. i get them sometimes. i use a hot hot compress on them and eventually they rear it's head. after that, i clean it with rubbing alcohol and put a bandage over it.
