Hi Everyone,

I am 33 years old, since the end of June this year I noticed redness on my left breast, it started to increase bigger and bigger. First I thought that this is my too small bra but I have stopped using any bra and it was still there. My family doctor told me that skin looks healthy and this should go away in couple days. However, it was still there, getting bigger. My skin on the breast was smooth, the redness was under the skin. No orange pills and no swollen, normal size, no pain. But it was more then 3 weeks, so I visited again, this time different doctor. I start felled little pain over my breast and under the arm. She told me that it looks like starting inflammation and she sent me to do the ultra sound and she gave me antibiotics. I must indicate that I have no kinds and I never had any problems with breasts. Ultrasound was clear but the redness was still there, I noticed some pink spots on the bottom on my breast and many cracking veins. Almost all my breast was redness, with pink spots and from the left side (where redness started) bruised. After 7 days I finished my antibiotics and the redness starts disappeared. 2 weeks later everything gone. I was the happiest person in the world. When this started to disappear I visit my family doctor and he told me that my breast looks totally normal. I showed him the pictures, how my beast looked before. I was very scared abut IBC. He told me that he saw this before and it was looked totally different and it was getting worse and worse, never better. He told me also, that I am too young to have this.Also, I want to mention that I have in this breast bigger the mammary glands, my doctor also noticed this but I think that I notice this a couple years ago. and ultra sound was clear so, I did not worried about it. But interesting is that the redness was start in this place where this is bigger. Anyways, he told me that everything looks good but just in case he will send me to the breast clinic. He told me that they will double check the bigger mammary glands. After this appointment it was August 19, I had 2 weeks of calm, everything gone even cracking veins. I was happy because I known that my beast looks totally normal no redness, pink spots etc. In meantime, I noticed small red cracking veins but also on my second breast. They appeared and disappeared the next day. One week ago I noticed again this time a little bigger cracking veins but this time it did not go away. I notice that is bigger and bigger, finally there was a small pink spot. When I touch it I noticed that this is on my skin, so I put some creme. After this cream there was only small rash/ spot maybe 1 cm. This changed and it is under my skin/breast. And more pink color... I have this more then one week and it was not away... the size is still the same but it look like insect bite but under the skin or some irritation (but inside). I am so scared that I have IBC. My breast is not swollen, looks totally normal. But I do not understand why I have again something on my breast, it looks different then before, only small pink spot and in the same place where before reddens started. I feel a little pain where the mammary glands is bigger but I am waiting for period and I feel all my breasts. On September 10 I have appointment in breast clinic I cannot sleep, working and I am thinking all the time about it. All my friends or family members did not have anything like this and I am scared because I really do not know what is that.. :(:( I know that it is difficult tell what this can be but if any one can help me .. I am crying every day because I really don't know what this can be... Did anyone from us had similar symptoms? Thank you

And I apologies for my English. I am begging you for any help and Thank You for all your thoughts.

IBC does not get better with antibiotics. But I hope you will find out what is causing your problem, and receive appropriate treatment.
