Oh Lordy..I had a spot recently that scared me silly but as my breast surgeon was a 1000km round trip away I used GPs and the oncologist to reassure me.
It could be anything. ..like a long term internal stich that doesn't dissolve with a bit of scar tissue round it even.
I think you will worry until you see the breast surgeon in reality. I just kept watching mine for sudden growth and change. As the skin is thin there you will see a change quickly so might be best not to feel it too much. (I know...you will keep checking it and this could inadvertently lead to inflammation ...so as hard as it is try to leave it be)
My red spot starting healing...turned out to be a pressure spot (I think from my saphire ring in bed...as the area is numb I wouldn't feel it if it was causing pressure). My oncologist said....cancer spots don't heal up. How true. Kath x
