Hi everyone, I noticed a red patch on the outer edge of one breast about a month ago and assumed it was a bug bite until it had been there for a while and I started to worry. Then my nipple started itching really bad and I got some red patches around the nipple. The doctor gave me Daktocort cream - to be fair the itching and the red spots around the nipple have calmed down but the original red spot is redder and bigger than ever. I now have another tiny red patch elsewhere on my breast. 

I was given an urgent referral by the nurse but I have a week to go till my appointment. I've googled it and inevitably come up with IBC so now I'm terrified and everytime I look at the red spots I feel more convinced that something is really wrong. I've never had anything like this. It's flat against the skin and not itchy, sore or scaly - about 1cm wide. It just looks like a bug bite but it's been there ages. 

I just wondered if anyone has had anything similar that has turned out ok? I'm so worried I don't know how I'm going to get through the next week to the appointment.
