What's wrong with my boobs?

Sorry, no photo :)
I've google searched and can't find my exact problem.
I am 16 weeks pregnant and since 13 weeks my boobs have been red and warmer than normal, they appear almost mottled, red and white, kind of inside the skin rather than spots on the skin if you know what I mean?
if I put pressure on the red area it goes white then red reappears quickly. It is not painful to touch my breast, but touching nipple hurts.

At various times of day, they seem to swell with what I can only describe as a tingly, painful itch.

My GP typically has a three-week to a month wait for appointments so hopefully you ladies will have some advice please! No leakage and E45 hadn't helped.

Thanks for reading!

Sounds like it's just the extra blood supply caused by pregnancy hormones getting you ready for breast feeding. You could try putting something cool on them and make sure your bra fits and is comfortable.

I'm 27 weeks and my hands look like that. I think it's normal to have colour changes in skin with all the extra blood and the hormones too.
