Antibiotics again - worried about reoccurring pain in breast

I'm now on the 4th round of antibiotics 6weeks in total since January after a painful lump direcetly behind my nipple appeared and reappeared a few months later. This time round I've had a painful lump in my armpit. Although this lump has gone down with the antibiotics I have reoccurring pain within my breast. Theu say pain is a good sign however ive never had any issue previously, it can come on with pressure or occasionally no reason, it's always on the same side and I'm starting to worry. Haven't had referral to breast clinic and I'm only 28 with no history of breast cancer in my family. Wondering if anyone has had something similar, and what their experience was.
