Hi I am new to this site I have had a rash on my right breast for over 4 weeks was prescribed steroid and anti fungal cream with no effect and have been referred to the breast clinic, I am very worried and feel pain in the right breast a tooth like aching and shooting pains in the nipple. What I find very strange is three weeks after the breast rash which seems to be getting bigger and redder I have a rash appeared under the opposite armpit which does not seem to be going down either any experiences of this or advice would be appreciated TIA.

  • Hi  and welcome to the Online Community but so sorry to hear about your ongoing concerns.

    It’s good that you are being investigated more as in reality is the only way the truth can be found but this can be a very challenging time but talking with others who are walking the same type of cancer treatment journey will help you navigate this difficult time.

    The New to Community is like the Community Reception area and as there are many cancer types and experiences so likewise the Community has many support groups but I see you have joined and posted in our supportive Breast cancer group as this will be a good place to connect with folks who may be on the same cancer treatment pathway.

    It’s always good to talk so do call the Macmillan Support Services on 0808 808 00 00 - most services are open 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week Clicking here to see what is available. This service provides lots of cancer information, support, financial guidance or just a listening ear.

    We also have Cancer Nurse Team in our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two working days for replies from our expert team.

    To find information covering diagnosis, treatments and pages covering most types of cancers check our Online Information and Support Section

    All the very best ((hugs))
