Itchy rash on both breasts

About 2 weeks ago I noticed my breasts were very very itchy, I also noticed there was a rash with it. Very patchy and dry. I assumed it was dry skin and moisturized. I still have it and it has only gotten worse. It’s on both breasts. Anything I’ve tried to read about has talked about inflammatory breast cancer. I’m very worried and on edge now, just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and what the outcome was. Any feedback is appreciated, thank you🙂

    I have had this happen on a couple of occasions, however it would depend on what is determined as a rash, my problems turned out to start form a scab, which has left scarring, the gp informed me it was a bacterial skin infection When I enquired about the info id read regarding inflammatory breast cancer, I was told it would be a definite rash, similar to nappy rash. I hope you will find the same or similar result and be reassured by your gp.

    ​good luck

    Hi Lynn, Did you resolve the rash problem? I do hope nothing has come of it.
