Once i got that too it can happen if you wear a bra that is irritating or the boobs can't breathe. Use hydrocortisone cream for a week it will go away. Stay away from bras that that push em together. lol

Unfortunately, the early stages of breast cancer may not have any symptoms. This is why it is important to follow screening recommendations. As a tumor grows in size, it can produce a variety of symptoms including:\nlump or thickening in the breast or underarm \nchange in size or shape of the breast \nnipple discharge or nipple turning inward \nredness or scaling of the skin or nipple \nridges or pitting of the breast skin \nIf you experience these symptoms, it doesn't necessarily mean you have breast cancer, but you need to be examined by a doctor.

If the rash is changing then you really should go back to the doctor again.  I have no idea of what it might be...sorry

Hi! I am really worried. I have the same thing. I have had it for a week now. It came out of nowhere and started with a throat infection. Then I got a red really itchy rash on my neck. I got some medication from my doctor and some cream to put on it. They do not seem to know exactly what it is though and now it is getting better where I put the cream but instead it's spreading beond where I add the cream, and has moved towards the back of my neck and down on my chest and to my ears. My brothers girlfriend got the same around the same time as me but hers disappeared after a couple of days. I also saw a lady in my elevator with a similar rash. Like I said it's got me really worried.. Has anyone else experienced this? Have you found out what it is yet?

Mild fever, backache, headache, sore throat, a rash (red spots) and blisters filled with fluid. These are the common symptoms of chicken pox. \n\nBefore the typical rash appears, patients often develop a fever, headache, swollen glands and other flu like symptoms.\n\nThe scabs sure do itch a lot.\n\nIf you feel a burning sensation you should tell your doctor about it.\n\nGet well soon.

Three possibilities spring to mind. The most likely one is polymorphous light eruption (PLE). It's the most common cause of a sun-induced rash, and the way you describe it sounds like PLE. Other two possibilities are cholinergic urticaria (hives due to heat) and solar urticaria (hives due to sun). \n\nMost sufferers of PLE are female. The lesions occur several hours to days following sun exposure and subside within a 7-10 days if there is no further exposure. Lesions are small, itchy, and occur only on areas exposed to the sun. My husband has a hereditary form of PLE, and his arms are covered in an itchy, bumpy rash all summer long. Luckily, for some reason PLE often does not affect the face.  Learn more at http://www.thedoctorsdoctor.com/diseases/pmle.htm\n\nCholinergic urticaria is hives caused by a rise in core body temperature. Most new sufferers are young men, but it can strike women as well. Hives are small, itchy, and appear soon after exposure to something which raises temperature - being out in the sun, getting into a hot car, taking a hot shower, strong emotions such as embarrassment or anger, sweating, exercise, etc....\n\nSolar urticaria is very rare and is caused by exposure to certain ultraviolet rays. Hives develop minutes after exposure, and resolve quickly (less than an hour).\n\nI'd stay away from the Kombucha, by the way. I know a few people who developed chronic kidney disease from using that junk. All of them are facing eventual kidney failure and dialysis.

I am a Certified Breast Care Consultant.  It could be an infection of his lobules, which needs a doctor, or it could be a sign of breast cancer... Breast cancer does occure in men although you don't hear much about it.  Other signs of a possible IBC (Inflammitory Breast Cancer) are retracting of the nipple, change in color of the areola (around the nipple) warm sensation, itching or burning, and many others.  This kind of cancer is not detectible by the usual breast exams. It requires a needle punch biopsy, they would insert a needle and remove a core of a few layers. Much like getting a piercing.  Because it is not a lump, it grows outward in 'sheets'.  If you get it checked out, bring up IBC because it is the fastest growing type of breast cancer, but has not been extensively studied.  Some doctors arent well educated of the type.  Best wishes.

I have had it and it lasted about 4 weeks. However Pityriasis rosea usually goes away within 6 - 12 weeks. The itching was the worst for me the Doctor gave me a benovate 1n 4 solution to calm it down I had it over christmas a few years back. If you have the rashes you should have no futher sysptoms than you already have. Apart from swollen glands and the rash I didnt have any other symptoms. My doctor had never seen it before outside of  medical texts and had to show his colleage. It is nothing serious and should pass with out getting any worse.  Also once the symptoms have gone you should have life long immunity. Apart from looking rather scary it is a mild skin ailment hope you recover quickly.\n\nCheck the links to find out more about it.

the rash is generally caused by irritation from tiny hair like objects that the leaf of various plant such as Poison Ivy have on the surface.  These hairs enter your skin and the rash is the effect of your body trying to eject the foriegn objects from the skin, I believ that the leaves may also contain certain types of toxins that your body reacts to.

You didn't say how old she is.  Children can get viral syndromes which cause a red rash.  Roseola is one they get, in which they may have a fever and be a little ill, then often the fever drops, and they break out in a red rash.  It is contagious to them, but relatively harmless, nothing special to do for it.  Of course measles causes a red rash.  They will be sick for a few days before they break out.  We don't see it much, with the vaccine being given to most.  They will get pretty sick with measles.  You just keep their skin clean so they don't get secondary infection, and give them a liquid diet, something they can hold down.  If they get worse, they need to see a doctor, as they could have secondary pneumonia, or even measles encephalitis, which is a rare complication.  I suppose you might know what hives looks like.  Hives is big splotches of elevated reddish "wheals", that usually itch.  It is usually an allergic reaction to something, and we usually can't tell what.  We just treat it with benadryl and steroids and it gets better.  These are the most common things.  Of course you can get a rash with an allergic reaction to something, such as to an antibiotic.  There are more rare types of skin outbreak, like Stevens-Johnson syndrome.  If the skin starts breaking down and looking really "angry", it could be that.  They usually get that as an allergic reaction to some drug, and it requires high dose steroids to combat.  Hope this helps.  It probably is just a mild virus like Roseola, and will go away on its own. If it is bad or gets worse, have her seen in ER.

LOL Mine do it all the time too...I once had a doctor say that it's cause by a nerve cluster in the aerola (nipple) firing erratically all at once. Try scratching it with a piece of toilet paper or tissue so that you don't scratch it. Also I notice that it's worse when I wear a bra (as the day goes on.) Perhaps there is a small piece of the cloth irritating the area causeing it to itch. Mmmmmm. Try taking your bra off (if the t.p. thing don't work) and washing both breasts down with a damp cloth. That usually helps me.

One or more of the following are Typical Symptoms of IBC:\n\nSwelling, usually sudden, sometimes a cup size in a few days \n\nItching \n\nPink, red, or dark colored area (called erythema) sometimes with texture similar to the skin of an orange (called peau d'orange) \n\nRidges and thickened areas of the skin \n\nWhat appears to be a bruise that does not go away \n\nNipple retraction \n\nNipple discharge, may or may not be bloody \n\nBreast is warm to the touch \n\nBreast pain (from a constant ache to stabbing pains) \n\nChange in color and texture of the areola \n\nThese Symptoms May Be Present in Benign Breast Disorders. See your doctor if you have any of these symptoms.\nInflammatory Breast Cancer is typically abbreviated as IBC.  Non-inflammatory breast cancer may include in its diagnosis the terms "in situ breast cancer," "infiltrating breast cancer," or "invasive breast cancer" all of which may be abbreviated with "ibc," but those terms alone do not specify inflammatory breast cancer.  To add to the possible confusion, the diagnosis may include more that one kind of breast cancer; for example "inflammatory breast cancer, invasive ductal carcinoma, and mucinous carcinoma" all in the same breast.  So if a person you know has been described as having IBC or ibc, it may be well to ask what that is abbreviating, since it may not be "inflammatory breast cancer" and therefore the symptoms and other information presented here may not apply.\n\nHere are some people who wrote what their own symptoms were: It doesn't seem that any of them say that it comes and goes, it seems that for them, that they got worse.  http://www.ibcresearch.org/symptoms/ibcpatientswrite.htm\n\nIBC Patients Write\nabout their own symptoms prior to diagnosis\n" ... swelling on my breast"\n\n"I'd had mastitis and abscesses -- and I knew this wasn't like  those. It was approximately six weeks from onset to where I could  feel golf-ball sized tumor."\n\n"First redness appeared ... then swollen lymph nodes."\n\n"I developed a lump while breast feeding ... doctor just blew this lump off as infection of a milk gland."\n\n"I thought I noticed a slight change in the appearance of my right breast, but did not pay much attention to it at the time, since I had been menopausal and had started to take HRT and felt changes were related to hormones. A few months later, I noticed a hardness and tenderness in the breast."\n\n"I did notice something was different; but I thought I was having a reaction to a new detergent, heat rash, overweight, wrong size bra, etc. ... have had fibrocyctic disease and was used to lumps coming and going. Had no sign of a lump until I had a huge lump!"\n\n"At the end of Feb 98, I noticed my right breast was a little larger than my left, by the time I went in for my annual physical in Apr 98 my right breast was much larger. I was not concerned about this because I have cystic breasts and my GP would drain them and I'm on my way. NO big deal."\n\n"I felt hardening of my breast about 1 year before I was diagnosed."\n\n"I saw a star-burst on my right breast."\n\n"I always thought that I found something on self-exams, so didn't do them often. It was slightly painful, but that may have been because I was under the misapprehension that "cancerous lumps don't hurt."  I may have convinced myself it was painful "after" I discovered it, so as to have a reason it couldn't be cancer."\n\n"I noticed redness and edema of left breast beginning of November; attributed it to breast changes due to pregnancy. Felt a lump around Thanksgiving."\n\n"I had discomfort under my right arm. I just thought it was muscle strain from gardening. Come to find out it was cancer in the lymph nodes."\n\n"I had no warning of anything wrong ... never
