Red spot and itchy breast Posted: 05-29-08 12:20pm
Hi,
I am a 29 year old female. About a month
ago, my left breast started to itch, at
first it was just slightly. Then about a
week after the itching started i noticed a
red spot under the skin, (not a perfect
circle) the spot is on the oppsite side of
the breast from where the itching is
accruing. i was visiting my mother in
denver and because my grandma just died of
IBC i made an appointment to see a doctor.
they suggested that i have a mamo but
didnt seem to concerned with it. i ended
up coming back home before i could get the
mamo done. now its been about a month
sense the first symptom. my left breast
itches so bad i could cry. i also noticed
another little red spot coming up like the
first one but smaller on the opposite side
of the breast from the first one. and my
nipple seems to be going flat. it doesnt
respond to stimulation unless lying flat
on my back. Today as i was doing a breast
exam i noticed a small hard spot deep in
the breast close to the first red mark.
but it is only felt when doing the exam
standing with myarm raised over my head. i
dont know if i am just thinking i feel one
because i am scared for if i really do
have one. Anyway. i have a dr appt on the
13th of June but i live in a city that is
well known for lousy medical care. Has
anyone been here??? Or know someone who
has?? Any suggestions or help in what
might be going on would be GREAT!!
thanks

Well i recently went hrough some magazines
- hope i can help you. I cannot say
nothing about itchy breast - try wearing
softer clothing.But i know a little on the
red spots.
Itching and have a rash could
be a sign of inflammatory breast cancer.
Don't want to panic you, but you really
should see a doctor. .Hope it's not
serious.
you might have some fungus,bring back it
checked by doctor.
Use cortizone to help near the itching and
try not to scratch. You could be growing
or it could be sweat glands. You can also
try some medicated powder similar to
Goldbond.
Is it ok to be uncircumcised?
sounds like a bake rash to me. - but still
- dont take it lightly.....
