After that, the GP said that they didn't know what it was, but I got referred to dermatology as well, because it looked like a skin thing. But they offered no alternative suggestion besides fungal infection or mastitis, and it was not that. They have not been concerned at all, and they don't think it's anything sinister.
You just always hear if you have redness on your breasts, get it checked out, and I read that there is not always a lump with IBC, and they couldn't find a lump, and that seems to be the reason they were not concerned, also because it is bilateral made them less concerned.
Will call my GP and be seen by a completely different one.
