Hospitalized for Cellulitis

I am 7 months postpartum and about two months ago I had what we thought was mastitis but antibiotics cleared up the redness and swelling, However the lump remained.
Imaging included mammogram and ultrasound - both “inconclusive”.
Biopsy revealed benign adenoma with necrosis. — 6.2cm mass -March 31

Doctor wants a contrast MRI so I have quit nursing as of April 24. Have to be dry 8 weeks to complete.

May 6 I started having redness that continued to spread, started oral antibiotics on May 12 but on May 16 pus started collecting under my skin (pictures in comments).

I was hospitalized for two days and treated with IV antibiotics then discharged with oral again. Redness receded, no more pus. However it’s been two days since I’ve been discharged and the redness seems to be coming back and is hot to the touch again, noticing more “stabbing” pains today than ever before.

Really worried this is Inflammatory Breast Cancer.
