Mammogram: This cannot be diagnosed via the internet. She must see a physician as soon as possible. It could be something easily treated like an infection but it could also be more serious. The sooner she gets care the more likely it will be diagnosed and treated effectively. Please take her to her physician.

Need a Doctor: This sounds serious. Maybe you can enlist another family member or close friend to help convince her to see a doctor or go to the emergency room.

It is probable not: the calcification draining through the skin. Infection or malignancy are possibilities. Your wife needs to get examined by a physician.
