Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello, 

I have studied your case with diligence.

There is possibility of benign lump or abcess in your breast leading to erect nipple.
I will advise to consult your treating doctor for clinical examination of breast and then we can do required investigation.
Mammography and ultrasound may help for detail diagnosis.

So I will advise for clinical examination and as required MRI spine screening, and cardiac investigation.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. 

Wishing you good health.

Take care
