    I am two years out from a bi lat mastectomey. left breat cancer, right propho...quesiton is , on my right breast level with my arm pit almost there is what looks like some kind of bug bite, redness bumps all around and spreading and the bite spot is oozing a clear fluid. Nothing to worry about right  sinc i've had a mastectomy and this is so rare and it is most likely a bug bite, it itches a lot.

    Thank you for your reply. I didn't realize you could get IBC after a mastectomy. I will watch it and make sure it doesn't spread as it is already looking a bit better. How long does it take it it was to get worse? Like days or weeks? Once it gets better , I should be in the clear as if it was IBC it would not get better. Is that a true statement Bonnie?

    thank you,
