Hello,
For the breast lump, a cyst should be ruled out and the prickly feeling may be due to parasthesia skin which is not related to the cyst at the back. It can be due to diabetes, hypothyroidism, peripheral vascular disease, vitamin B12 deficiency, neurological causes or malnutrition.

Get your blood sugar and thyroid hormones levels evaluated. You can take some vit B12 for some days and see if the symptoms improve.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Hi love138,

I would get that lump in your breast checked as soon as possible by your
family doctor.  I had a lump a number of years ago which my doctor
found through a routine examination. My doctor gave me a referral to
a surgeon who specialized in breast cancer surgery. Luckily, my lump
turned out to be a cyst. Time is of the essence. You need to make sure
the lump is benign not malignant. Don't want to scare you, but these
sort of things must be seen to quickly. I wish you well. Eve
