Brief Answer:
whole body PET Scan
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Since your breast changed in size texture and color and nipple leaked in january though you have not breastfed in 13 years and now after 4 months there is a golf ball like swelling in armpit ,throat and collar bone swollen and thick skin hair loss lesions on scalp and ultrasound found some cysts my advise is to go for a whole body PET CT scan.
If any space occupying lesion is found in the scan then to do biopsy from the lesion to rule out malignancy.
I would also recommend a course of antibiotic like amoxicillin and clavulanate for 7 days for collar bone and throat swelling.
For nipple pain you can take paracetamol tablets twice daily.
Hope i have answered your query
