Dear ada621, Over the internet without ability to evaluate including discussing your history and physical exam it is impossible to say what this is for sure.  A new lump should be checked.  You may want to consider a breast specialist to evaluate - they may have more to add as to why you continue to form these lumps and recommend how they should be followed. Breast specialists are usually associated with large acedemic centers.
