Question about inflammatory breast cancer!

Can anyone advise me I've had a terribly itchy rash on my left breast for over 2 months now started off as a little spot I put it down to the usual allergy or eczema etc used several types of creams but this rash has just spread and spread I have pain in my ribs under my breast and I have a awful pulling sensation in breast! Today same little spot appeared on right breast I went to see the GP who wasn't concerned because it was on both breasts she said she'd have been concerned if it was just one breast! So my question is can IBC affect both breasts or am I being overly concerned! Family history of breast cancer! 

  • Hello Coza1972, 

    You've done the right thing to go and see the GP. I can appreciate that it must be worrying for you if you don’t feel that your problems are being diagnosed properly.  Unfortunately, we cannot help you get a diagnosis.  Only a doctor can diagnose you.  If you want to double check the answer that has been given by your current doctor you may want to consider getting a second opinion.  You can find out more about this here.  When you see the doctor, make sure you mention you have a family history of breast cancer.

    I hope you find the reassurance you need 

    Best wishes,
