Question: I have been having a burning/itching sensation around left breast and have noticed red streaks at the bottom which i thought were stretch marks from gaining 20 lbs within past 1-1 1/2 years from starting steroid to keep my BP up. I looked at other breast to see if it has stretch marks and it looks like there are a few but nothing compared to the amount i see on left breast. I dont see any major difference in size. I first started noticing the stretch marks a few months ago but they are located on bottom side of breast so they may have been there longer and i just now noticed them. I'm not real sure if they have gotten worse or better since first noticing them. I have freaked myself out by reading about inflammatory breast cancer and Pagets disease. I have no major swelling from what I can tell and the stinging/burning has not got worse in the week but has not gone away either. The burning sensation started for the first time 4 days ago. Should I be concerned?It started the day after my husband sucked on breast... embarrased to admit. I went to GP and she said i do not have an infection and told me to go to my ob/gyn which I see this upcoming week but the waiting is killing me. I was sooo praying for an easy infection but that's not the case. What are your thoughts on this? How can I tell the difference between Ridges associated with Paget disease/IBC vs stretch marks?
