In our experience, a hard lump that does not hurt is often more concerning than a sore, painful one. Please do not apply any home-made pastes or hot packs; instead, go to a proper clinic immediately.
I am up past midnight reading medical articles again, and honestly, they say breast cancer lumps are usually painless, not sore. But please don't rely on tired internet guys like me, go see a doctor.
Typically, cancerous lumps are painless, while sore lumps are often benign cysts or related to hormonal cycles. However, only a doctor can diagnose this, so a professional examination is highly recommended.
I was researching this for my college biology project, and medical sites say most breast cancer lumps are painless, but some can be tender or sore. It varies from person to person.
Don't ignore it just because it isn't sore. The simplest solution is to book a basic mammogram or ultrasound at your local diagnostic lab and show the report to a doctor.
I had a sore lump last year and was terrified, but it turned out to be a simple hormonal cyst. Usually, cancer lumps aren't sore, but please get it checked anyway!

I totally get it, finding any kind of lump makes your stomach drop with worry. Please remember that many sore lumps turn out to be harmless infections, but please see a doctor for your own peace of mind.
