Rash on both breasts

Hi, I'm 27 and 27weeks pregnant. I woke up yesterday morning to see a broken red rash which is dotted around both breasts. It itches on and off. I was a bit concerned as I've googled and it can be a symptom of breast cancer. Is it normal to have it on both or is it more concerning if it's just on the one? 
 

thank you. 

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    Rashes are not common signs of breast cancer, and would usually affect one breast. Also, breast cancer is rare in someone of your age, so try to not worry about this. You can get misleading information from google, as it does not replace a consultation with a pharmacist or a doctor. 

    You very likely have a common skin rash, probably a sweat rash. Do ask your local pharmacist for a steroid/antifungal cream to apply. They can advise you further. If it doesn't clear up, then consult your GP, as sometimes prescription creams are needed.

    Hope this helps,

  • Thank you! I've got cream for it but hasn't worked yet. I'll keep trying. Thanks so much x
