Deep lump

I had an ultrasound....
I know they found a deep lump in my right breast that I cannot feel(The one where I found blood in my bra and where there is light discoloration/or swelling around my nipple on my areola. I saw the ultrasound tech mesuring the lump. She wasn't allowed to say anything to me.

Now, the discoloration is on my left areola too (just beginning on the outside of left breast around nipple on areola). I also have swollen glands in my neck and under both arms in my armpits.

Could my symptoms be a deep abscess? I have no pain, and no redness. The ultrasound also found about four lumps in my other side (left) too. Could this be infection spreading? I just want to know if it possibly sounds like those possiblitlites according to my symptoms/signs.

Dear LisaG:  Infection is one possibility but one might expect a fever if there is a lot of infection.  This could also be many other things.  The best bet is to wait for the results.

what would cause fluid or cells to collect beneath the areola?
