    Do any of you have pictures of IBC? I have been getting sores on my breast for at least two years now. Everytime I go to the doctor they say it is only an infection and give me major antibiotics. The sores clear up but then re-appear weeks or even a month later. I have gotten the sores on both breast but they seem to be more frequent now. My breast also itch alot as well. I have seen at least 4-5 doctors and they all say the same thing. Whenever I bring up IBC they just look at me puzzled. I tell them about it and they just blow me off and say that I am too young for any type of breast cancer. I am 35 and I am getting highly upset with my medical care. I am also sick of taking antibiotics.

    So I guess my question is will any of you share pictures of your own IBC if you even have any so I can compare to what I keep getting?

    Thanks!

    I do not have any pics of my ibc.  I would suggest to go to a breast surgeon to have a  biopsy of the sore done.  IBC is nothing to take lightly.

    As for your age you are not to young to have bc I was 36 when I was dx with ibc and was at what my doctors told me was the end of stage 3 beginning stage 4.
