Inflammatory breast cancer

Hi, 

im 21 years old and have become really worried about a rash on my breast. I notice this on holiday in august but thought I'd was down to pigmentation as I had caught a tan. It didn't not seem to grow and I had forgot about it. My friend pointed out to me a rash the other week and it had now brown since. I Google and it comes up about ibc. I'm am really scared as I am 21. I don't really have pain on in my breasts other then when I'm on my period. The rash it's like pigmentation and it's slightly red now. Has anyone had this? 
 

im scared from what I have a read online and have seen that there's a low survival rate.

    A warm welcome to Cancer Chat! 

    The first thing to do really is keep well away from Dr Google - as it is famously unreliable, only brings up the worst case scenario with the lowest survival rates and this will make you unnecessarily anxious. So don't pay attention to what came up on Google as Google is totally unable to diagnose you. 

    If you are worried about this rash on your breast, I suggest for peace of mind that you talk to your GP about it. So do call your doctor as soon as you can to get this looked at. I am sure your doctor will be able to tell you more about what the rash might be. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that you get the reassurance you need soon and that everything turns out to be fine! 

    Best wishes,
