Usg and mammography .They have their own relevance
Usg is done before 40 yrs and mammography after 40years ...thats it
If you have a family history ,go for MRI
Do cytology of nipple discharge
N most importantly ,avoid self squeezing of nipple if at all you are doing it
And take good antibiotics ,it will settle otherwise
