Possibly. Sometimes breast infections are first noticed as a painful lump, with or without redness. Mastitis is an infection that often occurs in women who are breastfeeding. Mastitis is an infection caused by bacteria that enter the mammary ducts through the nipple. Localized pockets of infection will appear as tender, warm lumps in the breast.
