Hives on breast appearing and disappearing suddenly -itchy

[Justworriedx]

Hello

just as my username is .

two Fridays ago I was sitting down and felt itching in my left breast . When I scratched it a bit I saw hives appear on the left side. Poured some cold water and took antihistamine and it went for that night. A week later same itchy sensation . I took the antihistamine and it subsided.

it started again yesterday and when I get the itchy feeling, I look there and the hives suddenly appear without scratching it and then disappears again sometimes less than 12hrs later

i went to the gp yesterday and she prescribed daktacort that it may be anti fungal

i have used it and seen no difference. I’m having slight shooting pains in the breast but maybe overthinking as I’m mid cycle

I’m deathly worried as may be IBc . No redness or swelling , just itchy sensation then hives start appearing and disappearing

anyone experienced this kind of hives and itchy breast?

ps I haven’t changed anything at all -soaps, detergent all the same

Bump

I had this and honestly think was allergic to something. Was just about to book dr appointment and went away. Lasted maybe three weeks. Might have been some soap. I think book another appointment if still happening once the cream's had a few days to work. Looked awful then okay then really bad then ok on and off like you said.

I had this after a scan where I was injected with iodine. I had on my face too- looked like I'd been fighting! Have you had anything similar? Doctor gave me some anti histamine-Fenexodine. You can buy them over the counter different name but same product. Took a couple of weeks to disappear.

Thank you so much

it’s just so scary as the welts just begin to appear once the sensations starts and I don’t even touch it

i have had itching on there before several times from ezcema/fungus but never had random welts or hives appear and disappear

these things are just too scary

Not been injected at all

ita just a bit worrying because it’s only on one breast 😞

wouldn’t have been as worried if it’s on both

Was yours on only one breast ?

Go to the doctor. Always better to check if you are worried.

could you need an anti fungal cream?
visit surgery i should think if anti histamines not working.

have you changed your washing powder?

Not changed anything at all. Been prescribed anti fungal but still same though just started using it yesterday

Hi there @Justworriedx

I’ve been researching IBC this evening and what you originally described sounds similar to what my wife has experienced the last couple of days.

If you don’t mind sharing, I wondered if you had an update on what happened next?

Many thanks
