A member asked:
How common is cutaneous metastasis breast cancer and can it be a abscess or cyst on the nipple?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Best is to consult a surgeon who specializes in breast disease for an examination and a digital mammogram along with guidance on the nipple lesion.

Relatively uncommon, but definitely seen in practice. With a history of breast cancer, cancer involvement in such lesions is always considered and ruled out first, benign lesions remain possible otherwise.
