Just a blocked duct or should I make a GP appointment?

Yesterday I noticed I've a lump in my breast. It's just above a tiny sore that I've had for a while. The sore is tiny though and I'm unsure if it's because I keep (unconsciously) scratching at it which is why it's not healing.

Back to the lump, it's not sore or anything and my 16 month old has been feeding normally.

Do I assume its a blocked duct though as I am breastfeeding? I don't want to waste my GP's time. I also don't like medical settings, it triggers my PTSD flashbacks and panic attacks.

Same time I don't want to ignore it if I should get it checked, most people in my family die from cancer rather than anything else.

Please see your GP. Explain you are nervous when you see them. You should be offered a chaperone. It will likely be fine but breast lumps shouldn't be ignored even when you are feeding.
