It's possible that you just have a little infection there- especially if it's on your bra line, however, because it's hot to the touch and near your breast- I'd make an appointment with a doctor to have them take a look.

Thanks for your answer, Iam breastfeeding (12weeks) and just got worried, i feel something moving under skin when I press on! It’s very soft and rubber!
Your breasts go through a lot of changes while breastfeeding too- have you had any follow up appointments with your OB postpartum?  Give them a call and let them know what you are seeing- I'd bet it's probably just an infection (like I mentioned), but always better to be safe and give the doc a call!
I got appointment for next week, this morning I had pus coming out when I woke up and it was more than yesterday... it’s definitely infected??? I need to wait till Monday to see my Dr. Do you know if I can do anything while waiting for my appointment plz...
Just keep the area clean and if you come down with a fever or anything changes drastically, you can head to the ER and/or call your doctor to let them know about what's happening.  If you can, try to wear a bra that doesn't rub up against the area as well.  Keep us updated on how you are doing!
Yea Iam keeping it clean! & iam bra free now, I can’t wear them just now, the infected area  is on my bra line! Will keep you updated... thanks for your help
Just to keep updated, just seen my dr today and she confirmed it was a small abscess(infection) and she gave me Antibiotics(Flucloxacillin) The lump went flat after in burst twice. But she said just finish the antibiotics.
Thanks for your help you were right
So glad that your doctor was able to confirm and get you antibiotics- let us know if you need anything else!  
See Dr today & she confirmed what u told me, it’s an infection(small abscess) gave me Antibiotics (Flucloxacillin) the lump went down after it’s was pop out 2 days ago. Thanks very much for your help
