    So right, I've had these spots before (and the worry) and they can take 7-10 days to completely clear off. I just use a bit of anti-inflammatory ointment on them as this helps. It's just the same as getting a spot on your face, it takes a week or so to resolve.

    Hi ladies:thanks for your words. I am going to stop checking on it. I’m sure anti inflammatory cream is the thing I need but I cannot get to the pharmacy right now so will just put some normal cream

    I’m still really stressed. It’s still pink/red and does look like a spot, I just thought it would’ve gone by now. But cancer would probably grow faster id assume-and cover a larger area.


    I think it’s also just a stressful time because I can’t get to my gyno or dermatologists due to our shelter in place. I’m right around the US epicenter, so we are being told to not even grocery shop this week :/

    When I have spots on my breast, the pink area often lasts a couple of weeks.

    I get spots on my breasts too, it’s just skin like anywhere else but for me they very rarely ‘come to a head’ there just stay below the surface, they can be there for more than a week for me but I’m not one known for the most rigorous skin routine!

    They really are very normal though, I have at least one at the moment. I find I get more of them with the birth control I’m on.

    Positive vibes,

    So when you get these do they seem to be pimples or.... I notice mine come towards the later half of my cycle... to be honest I wouldn’t think anything of them if I didn’t know about Ibc... I’ve had one right now for almost 2 weeks- it looks like either an ingrown or a plugged pore... is this something I need to worry about- I find myself constantly worrying out the Ibc thing now :/ and I’m only 30..
