One day I noticed a very bright red area around my breast. It remained that way until I began using cold compresses. Then I noticed a raised area in my lymph node nearby near the arm pit. The redness is going to a slight pink in color, but will appear redder again if I wear a bra during the day. Less problem if I go without a bra. The lymph node continues to be swollen, but seems to be going down very slightly. This has been ongoing for about 3 months.
