Breast boil doesn't seem to be getting any better. Paranoid it could be a sign of inflammatory breast cancer.

Hi, recently got told by a nurse I had a breast boil was given antibiotics but didn't really make a difference, it's got no worse but also not much better, no pain though just red patch and slight bump which has gone now, just very on edge and paranoid about inflammatory breast cancer ? Would my symptoms of got worse if this was the case ?

I did have a full breast exam and there no concerns, it's more for my peace of mind as has been present a month now.

Thankyou !

  • Hi. I was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer in January. My consultant knew what it was the moment he saw it. Honestly, if you've had a breast exam and they've said it's all OK believe them and don't let yourself worry. Inflammatory breast cancer is rare and very quick growing (you would have noticed BIG changes by now) and my treatment started less than a month after diagnosis.
