Weird red mark on breast that grew a lot within a week? Google isn't helping

I had what felt like a small lump in my breast for months. On the skin in front of it a purple mark appeared. I thought maybe it was acne so I attempted to squeeze it but nothing came out. Then it started turning pink/reddish. Then I had an appointment with my family doctor, who said he wasn't concerned about it and referred me to a dermatologist (who I have an appointment with on the 13th, so in 4 days). After a few days I noticed instead of the irritation going away it was getting more red. Within a week it grew to the size of a dime, if not a little bigger. Of course Googling my symptoms hasn't helped at all, because it always tells you your condition can be worse than it really is. For a short period of time I was worried it was Inflammatory Breast Cancer but I don't entirely believe it is, I'm not educated enough on it to diagnose myself with it and there's a lot of symptoms of it I don't have. But I *am* a little worried and can't seem to find any condition really that seems to describe what I'm experiencing. The closest thing I found that resembled the mark was ringworm, but a friend of mine that lives with me said she had it before and it doesn't look like it.

My doctor seemed very un-thorough when he checked my breast and I'm kind of feeling resentment because he literally poked it then said he wasn't concerned and I was in and out of his office within under 2 minutes. If it really does end up being something serious I'm honestly going to be p!ssed at him because I don't go to doctors for no reason. Part of me feels like I'm just having health anxiety but wouldn't anybody be concerned if they had a growing red spot on their breast?

Anyways I just really want to know what it is. It's peeling now and one of my friends said she thinks it could be a cyst. Another person said maybe an abscess but said he couldn't even guess now because it doesn't hurt. It also isn't itchy. And now I have more little red marks appearing on the same breast.

BUT I don't have other symptoms of IBC so it's probably not that. I just don't have a better answer.

I don't really know what I'm asking for here but opinions would be nice. I don't want to be a hypochondriac. I wish I had the option to post pics but I don't think I can
