rash, intense itching on breast

Bonny, I wouldn't wish the shingles on anyone, but I'm sure you were relieved to hear that was the diagnosis!

I'm concerned about my rash/itching because I've had on & off episodes of sharp pain in that particular breast (close to where the rash is...don't know if that means anything) for the past several months. I've been quite fatigued for the past couple of months, but I've been chalking that up to job-related stress (I'm a social services worker).

Could be stress, could be a bug bite...hopefully, it's something simple and silly and nothing scary.

IBC...itching in armpit/breastbone?

Hi everyone...I can't seem to find the answer to a question I have regarding IBC: is the itching/redness confined to the breast, or can there be itching/redness on the breastbone & armpit? Started this morning, intense itching & redness (I'm sure my scratching made the redness even worse ) and Benadryl cream isn't doing a thing to make it go away...I don't think it's an insect bite, and I've never had any kind of allergies, so I'm a bit concerned.

I'm 38 years old, good health, complete hyst in 2001 due to endometriosis. Currently take Premarin hormone replacement.

My yearly GYN exam is this Friday, so I'll definitely be talking to my doc about this.

Thanks to anyone who share their thoughts

rash, intense itching on breast

Hi everyone; I've searched this forum and the web, but can't seem to find an answer to this question regarding inflammatory breast cancer: would sudden, intense itching and redness be confined to the breast, or is it possible that the breastbone & armpit would also be red, hot, and really itchy? Benadryl cream isn't doing a thing...this just started this morning.

Thanks very, very much to anyone who answers...by the way, my yearly gyn exam is this Friday, so you can bet I'll talk to my doc about this.
