I found a red mark on my right breast on 8th May 2021. I took photos of it on May 29th and every week since. It doesn't hurt or itch but I was worried it might be inflammatory breast cancer. I finally.called the doc today 21st June 2021 and she wanted a picture of it and was reluctant to give me an appointment which makes me feel like I am over reacting. I have also experienced an itching to the right side and nipple.bit as I scratch it it feels.like.the itch is coming from inside. She asked if there was breast cancer in the family and said she would see me today at 4pm, but only because I insisted. Should I be worried, should I push to be taken seriously or should I accept its nothing and stop worrying? If it was a bite or an infection would it not have gone by.now? It has been 6 weeks
It's so frustrating when people don't come back and give an update!
I also found a red mark on my breast at the beginning of September. I watched it, not itchy or sore but I was a blotch that grew bigger bit by bit. Eventually saw my GP, he followed the standard treatment, topical cream like Canesten and a course of antibiotics neither of which changed it at all. After a week he fast tracked me to the Breast cancer clinic where I was seen about 2 weeks later, examined by the consultant who reassured me he didn't think it was inflammatory breast cancer, which had been my worry, ordered a mammogram and CT scan, checked both and said there were no changes at all so although he didn't know what it was, he knew it wasn't IBC, I left very reassured and, I'd have to admit, hoping he was right.
Fast forward a couple of weeks and out of the blue my breast started to really itch, the blotch has spread significantly and I'm worried all over again. It's been nearly two days, I've tried Sudocrem, that hasn't helped, tea tree oil, that hasn't helped and the blotching has spread further and it still itches. I can't see any spots though and can't feel any lumps. I'm going to give it until Monday and then rethink what I should do. I'm annoyed with myself because the Consultant offered to refer me to a dermatologist and I said no thinking it was likely just something that would fade eventually. I willl update on how I go, I think its important to let others know when you've shared a problem and they've been supportive or confessed to similar problems.
I have also had red mark , similar to broken blood vessels or love bite !( which its not)
it doesn't itch or feel painful but I am worried- I went to the breas clinic last year and year before because of some lumps but they said they were cyst.
I don't want to go back again as it looks like I'm am paranoid!
I lost my dad to cancer in January and I am petrified of dying in the Same way
I have exactly the same on my right breast, looks like a pink cluster of the small blood vessels, however it's smooth, no lump. I have been searching the internet (as we do) and the only other condition that relates to this is poikilodermatous mycoses fungoides, it is a T-cell lymphoma, which worries me as my dad and mother have had blood cancers. Anyway I am waiting to hear back from my doctor now as I definitely need an examination.
