Super worried :-/

Hi, about 3 weeks ago a hot rash (briefly ichy then not) appeared on side of right boob,i thought from my bra. Was given Antibiotics for a few days but no change. Dermatologist then prescribed a fungal cream. This has taken rash down a lot but there is still a red patch, somtimes boob looks purply with lots of small veins. Think other somtimes does too but driving myself made so not sure if I'm imagining it. 
i have no pain,heat or swelling but sometimes get a strange sensation in my arm pit. Have breast clinic on Thursday & worried sick. Arm bit feels a bit flabbier than left side too! Has anyone else has this? Would the rash clear a bit if serious? I'm 34 & scared stiff

    Hi and thanks for posting

    Despite some people saying they may have experienced similar symptoms, outcomes will vary ,so it's not really a good idea comparing symptoms.

    It's horrid waiting for appointments and tests , but it's the only way you'll get to know what may be going on for you. You'll be examined and possibly also have an ultrasound, as mammograms in the UK are not done under the age of 40 as the breasts are still very dense, making it more difficult to properly interpret a mammogram.

    Responses to rashes will vary too and I wouldn't try and interpret this , as it's not as black and white as you may think.

    So try and hold your nerve and not overthink things ,as it's so easy to let your thoughts run away with you .

    Good luck for Thursday and keep busy until then if you can

    All the best
