Hi, I’m 20 years old. I’ve had this circular mark on my breast for nearly a year now. It’s never itched or hurt, and I feel like it may of grown just slightly over the last months. It isn’t raised or had any texture to it, it’s just smooth and a slightly different feel to the rest of my breast. I’ve also got another mark similar between on my chest/cleavage which is more purple.

I’ve been to the doctors and was told to not worry about IBC because it could be ezcema, but I just don’t think it is ezcema because it doesn’t bother me or feel like it.

The larger mark in the side of my left breast and the smaller one is on my chest.image

Please help. image

    I wonder if this is a fungal rash caused by sweat. Try washing the area with an anti dandruff shampoo...especially one with Selenium sulphide as the active ingredient. Gently massage a small amount into each patch,leave for 2 minutes, then wash off thoroughly. Do this on alternate days. If it makes the patches worse or irritated then discontinue immediately. That might mean it is ezcema as your doctor says. If they are dry patches try using an emollient cream.

    You need to go back to your doctor however,if your breasts are hot to touch and feel swollen
