Thanks for your question on HCM.
Zuska's disease is abscess in lectiferous glands in areolar and subareolar region.
And you should get done monthly follow up once infection is cleared.
And yes, you should definitely remove the metal tubing.
It may act as foreign body and cause local reaction and granuloma formation.
So better to get it removed.
