Hi I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this as I'm stressed. So almost 2 weeks ago a rash started on the outside of my right breast, then the next morning it appeared on the left side same place. Both are very heavy and feel "tight", it's quite painful and really itchy and I have a stabbing pain inside.
went to the nurse who didn't seem interested I was in for 4 minutes she prescribed flucloxacillin as she said it's just mastitis (but she's never seen it on both breasts before). I have had mastitis with my first daughter 16 year ago and it was nothing like this. So taking the antibiotics and it's not got better it's now worse. I drew a line to mark where it was to begin with and it's gone all the way across the top now.
so I went to the dr today and said I was a little concerned as breast cancer does run in my family and the antibiotics didn't seem to do anything. I was gobsmacked when he looked and me shook his head and said no it's not cancer " you can't get breast cancer on both breasts, and there's no lump". He has prescribed another course of flucloxacillin and also co amoxiclav and naproxen and said go back in 3 weeks?
my mind is going crazy and my anxiety is through the roof I feel like my drs just don't want to listen to my concerns and it worries me that the first 10 day course didn't work so they have given me more. I can't pick anything up and even if anything brushes against them that seems to cause both pain and the itch to start.
sorry for long post but I'm hoping someone has had similar to put my mind at ease. X
