Hi Jo - You should get this looked at again, since it seems to be worsening and creams haven't helped. It could be an early sign of one of two rare types of breast cancer: inflammatory breast cancer, or Paget's disease. Although they're both rare, as I said, they need to be ruled out. So please mention this possibility to your doctor, and ask to be tested. Good luck - PJH
