Does this bump on my breast look like something I should go to the ER for? I am 29 years old and have been experiencing pain, tenderness, itching, swelling, and pus discharge from the bump for approximately 3 weeks. I also have generalized body aches, diarrhea, and am currently taking Cephalexin. I have hypothyroidism but my levels are within normal range, and I recently tested negative for Covid.

I have two issues: 1. When I breathe in deeply, I smell ammonia at the back of my nose and it feels like it burns a little. I don't have kidney disease and my recent CT and kidney function tests were normal. 2. I have bleeding from just outside my anus that burns. What could these symptoms indicate?

I have been experiencing intermittent ringing in my ears, which occurs in one ear at a time and can switch between my left or right ear. During these episodes, my hearing in the affected ear diminishes briefly. Is this something to be concerned about, and how can I get it to stop?
