if anyone can tell me if I am overreacting bc I am so scared. 5 days ago I had this stinging sensation in one spot of my right boob. The next day I started to get itchy. The day after that, little red bumps appeared in the itchy spots on my boob and areola. But i also have a couple in between my two breasts and on my rib cage. The gyno said I think didn't raise any red flags, but to use lotion & call back if It persists. Should i be more pushy or wait and see. This breast is also slightly more lumpy than my other, but the gyno couldn't feel much of a dofference

    Hi Laurmarie1212, your question really should be posted in "Not Diagnosed But Worried" as noted in the pinned thread at the top of the page. This section is for those of us who have already been diagnosed with IBC. https://community.breastcancer.org/forum/83

    I am not a doctor but your symptoms sound more like a skin condition or some type of allergic reaction to me, not at all like IBC or even breast cancer. This time of year just sweating in a bra can irritate the skin, or maybe you recently changed laundry detergents? Your symptoms are not typical of IBC and I would put that thought completely out of your head. If it doesn't go away with the lotion your gyno gave you, I suggest seeing a dermatologist.
