Breast symptoms

I’ve got a drs appointment on Tuesday I just wondered if anyone else had experienced the same? About a week ago my right breast started to feel itchy.. it now feel like it’s burning. There is no rash apart from a few raised bright red dots and 2 little dry spots. I’ve used moisturizer.. changed washing detergent and shower gel and deodorant in case it’s that and it just feels worse. Anyone had the same?? Gene

@paulhollywoodshairgel glad to read your update! Though singles can be bad it’s good to know nothing you won’t recover from within weeks. I did not reply before as had nothing useful to say.

I just came on to say shingles! Get well soon!

Hope you're better soon!

Thank you! It’s incredibly painful and I feel rubbish but I’m glad it’s this and not something sinister. It’s weird isn’t it how your mind goes straight to cancer when it involves the boobs!
