Painful lump

I have a very painful lump between my right armpit and on the side of my right breast.  This has occurred very suddenly.  What is my next step?

Hi,
Usually painful lumps are not indicative of breast cancer,but any lump in the armpit area is concerning.It could be something as simple as a cyst or inflamed hair follicle, but suspicious lymph nodes also present in this area and I would advise you to see your physician for evaluation.
Best wishes...
