I've got red spots on both of my breasts probably 10 or more total on both. Does this look like IBC? I know it causes a red rash, should I be concerned? I tried to post a pic but it wouldn’t let me

    Beachbum,

    IBC is uncommon. Please make an appointment with your doctor to determine what is causing the spots.

    This is right above your op. Please re-read!

    Forum: Not Diagnosed But Worried — Breast cancer symptoms vary widely. According to the American Cancer Society, in addition to a lump, breast cancer symptoms can include swelling, skin irritation, dimpling, breast pain, changes to the nipple, thickening of the breast skin, or unusual nipple discharge. Still, some breast cancers cause no symptoms at all. Note: Please do not post pictures of your symptoms. It's important to have anything unusual checked by your doctor” Even if posting pics was allowed, you really wouldn’t want a bunch of folks on the internet guessing at what might be going on based on a picture, right? We are not medical professionals so please call your doc! Take care.

    A derm may be a better option than PCP depending on timing you can get in.... Derms can often tell what something is just by looking at it. PCP's and others won't always be sure.

    Livinglife is right. If this hasn't resolved after a week or so, you should go see a dermatologist.

    And do stay away from "Dr. Google". He loves to diagnose IBC
