About a month and 1/2 ago I got a red spot just to the left of my nipple on my left breast. It is about the size of a quarter. It sometimes has peeling skin and it has a blueish color towards the bottom of the spot. It does not seem to hurt or anything but it does not go away either. A couple of days afo it started getting "holes" in it and blood with a little pus mixed with it. It also is "seeping" a pink tinged liquid out of the blueish area on it, but I do not see any "holes" in that area. 2 days ago a very small spot appeared about 1/2 inch above this one. I can not tell what it is yet? I am a little concerned about this as it is not going away. I keep myself clean and have been trying antibiotic cream on it but it is not helping. However I do not have any pain, swelling or "heat" in this area, so I do not want to over react. Has anyone ever had something like this?

Ok..it has been a few days and the spot on my breast is now at a standstill, no more "fluids" coming out of it or anything else. It still has the holes in it, they are not healing. However it is just there, not getting worde but no signs of going away. I was very concerned about IBC in the beginning but since it is not advancing in any way I do not hink think that is what it is. Has anyone ever seen anything like this? The only thing is it may be a little darker now, looks more "bruised" than before. This has me confused, and I can not get into the Dr. until August 20th. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks

    I would suggest to try to get into see your doctor sooner than August 20th.  I would ask for a referral to a breast surgeon and get a biopsy of the area.  The sooner you know what you are dealing with the sooner you can get the correct treatment started.
