My name is Larissa. I have a dime sized circular slightly raised rash on the side of my breast. It isnt red and does not not itch. But i noticed it 2 weeks ago and still has not dissapeared. Also today i noticed on both breasts tiny pimple like red dots on both breasts. scattered randomly. Those do not itch either. my breasts are normal sized. neither are swollen. And neither have any lumps as far as I am concerned. Im scared and was wondering if these are symptoms of Inflammatory breast cancer or any other breast cancer.

Hi - The scattered red dots on both breasts wouldn't be a sign of inflammatory breast cancer, since it nearly always appears in only one breast at a time. Have you changed your laundry detergent or shower gel lately? Added something new to your diet? Done anything else that might produce a rash?
The raised patch of skin should be examined, especially if it gets larger, or you see more symptoms in that breast (not both breasts). It would be a real long shot for it to be IBC, but you should get it checked out anyway, just to rule it out, OK? Good luck - PJH
