Inflammatory breast cancer - scared

Hi all, hope you're doing OK. I'm so worried. I've had a red rash around my boob line for the past month that hasn't gone away. Occasionally itchy. When I Google symptoms it's always coming up as inflammatory breast cancer. I've called the doctor for an appointment and I am waiting but I'm so scared I have the rare, aggressive form of cancer. I'm only 27 and I know it affects younger women more. I just want somewhere I can talk about it and get some advice and support. I am so scared it is this because when I Google my symptoms nothing else really comes up. I left the "rash" for a month to see if it would disappear but it hasn't. I don't think it's a heat rash as it starts above where my bra sits. Any advice and support would be really appreciated. 

  • Hello [@Kapow94]‍ ive had exactly the same as you. I was told it was a fungal infection and was given cream. It did help a bit however ive had pain/ itchy nipples too which havent gone away. Ive been to the GP today and he has checked over my boobs but doesnt think theres anything to be concerned about but has given me a non urgent referral to the breast clinic. Definately go to the GP just to get it checked x

  • Hey,

    Sorry I've only just seen the reply. Turns out it was a fungal infection too and it's all good!

    Thank you for your response!
