Hi I have had a red rash on my right breast for around 4 weeks was given steroid cream and anti fungal cream with no resolve. I attended the GP on Tuesday who has referred me to the breast clinic I am worried it could be IBC as there is no lump a red rash and what looks like purple bruising. I am a bit confused as a rash has appeared under my opposite armpit any info would be appreciated.
TIA
Hi and welcome to the online community
It is always a worrying time when you're waiting to see someone and then possibly waiting for results and it's natural to look for others who have had similar symptoms.
I can see that you also posted this in the breast cancer group and wondered if you'd seen the replies you've had? If not, clicking here will take you straight to them.
You might also like to take a look at this information from Macmillan which describes the symptoms of inflammatory breast cancer.
Do come back and let us know how you get on at the breast clinic.
