What Could Sudden, Spreading, Itchy Rash On Left Breast With Extreme Muscle Pain While Stretching Indicate?

I have developed a sudden rash on my left breast that is itchy and I now have what feels like extreme muscle pain when i stretch the area. My PCP has prescribed a steriod cream to apply to the rash, but the rash has actually spread rather then getting better
