Hi - If your breast appears to be infected (red, swelled, painful), then yes, you should see a doctor ASAP. But if you simply feel a sensation of heat, I'd wait it out. If it doesn't improve in several weeks, you might want to see a doctor for some relief; but this doesn't sound like a breast cancer symptom. Good luck - PJH
