Enlarged part of nipple left breast itching some swelling

Changed birth control brand about 3 months ago. Feel like my hormones are off. Went to dr last week for bad cyst pain left side had ultrasound showed nothing. Also noticed left breast swelling but thought it was due to oulling my chest muscles from falling back on a ladder. Now I noticed my left nipple has a red enlarged apot that is itchy and feels tender. I had a small scab that had a white powder underneath. My wants a diagnostic mammogram which i disagree with. How do i get just an ultrasound? Or give it time to heel?

Hi @rooster25, I just read your post, how are you doing these days? Have you agreed for a mammogram, if yes then what were the results?
I hope you're doing well and there is nothing serious. I wish you a happy & healthy life ahead.
Best wishes!

Hi.  Been a few days. How is it now?  Personally, mammograms are good to have and rule anything out that may be going on. Why don't you want one?  I do understand they aren't the most comfortable thing but they aren't really painful.  They are trying to be safe.  But I would be really super surprised if this is anything to do with cancer.  Give me an update, I want to know how this is going!
