did anyone's IBC show up very soon after a partial mastectomy for idc? My breast has been red all over for 6 weeks now. I went to dr last week and was put on Bactrin forcellulitis. But is not getting better. Thing is it was red like I was told it was going to be but it just never got better

    My IBC was the only BC DX I had. A week after it presented literally overnight, I had the biopsy path. results - IBC. It was then 17 days to starting neoadjuvant Chemo during which time it did continue to progress but I never had any 'redness/rash'. So total of 24 days with obvious progression though not 'redness/rash'.

    There are a multitude of possibilities for your skin issue that have nothing to do with IBC. Skin issues can be very persistent and take quite a while to totally resolve (Son developed a form of exema that took several months on TX to completely resolve) Perhaps an appt with a Dermatologist might be in order.
