persistant cyst?

I am 39, have 5 women in family that had breast cancers (several at 35 yrs old) and uncle that had colon cancer. I'm always seen by a different dr (military) and several have noted an area that seems to either be a persistant cyst or mass (one noted it to be 1 cm with faint indentation of skin) Another mentioned small soft density, not hard, with breast retraction (possible mass?) Two other dr's noted 2.5 cm elongated lobule in same area.

Mammograms have been as follows: 1st mammo - heterogeneously dense baseline / Cat 1 2nd mammo - scattered fibroglandular densities / tissues - Cat 1 then was sent to a different facility 3rd mammo - moderately dense heterogeneous nodular parenchymal pattern without suspicious mass or significant change from previous study. / Cat 2 NOW...I recently moved, so was sent to yet another facility...only, when the other facility forwarded the previous mammograms...they were lost. 4th mammo - mild to moderate fibroglandular density. Benign calcifications with no dominant masses / Cat 2 / Note that comparison of the patient's previous mammograms could greatly improve the sensitivity of the screening process, as dense breasts can obscure mass lesions. (this was also the first time I've had them come back in to take additional views)

(also being followed right now for complex cyst on right and several cysts on left ovaries....had hysterectomy done for suspicious mass/nodules/fluid about 1 1/2 years ago.)

I've also recently had a small red bump appear and has been there now for over a month. It's not on the nipple, just underneath the areola, so I don't think it's anything serious, but am wondering why it's not going away. Would appreciate any advice...thank you very much for your time.
