Inflammatory breast cancer
What are the signs of inflammatory breast cancer?
Signs of inflammatory breast cancer can develop quickly and may include:
the breast looks red or inflamed or develops a rash – it often looks as if it’s infected or bruised
the breast becomes swollen and enlarged and may feel heavy or uncomfortable
the breast feels warm and tender
skin on the breast can appear dimpled or pitted, like an orange peel.
Some people may also have a lump in their breast or armpit, pain in the breast or nipple, discharge from the nipple or a nipple that turns inwards (inverted nipple).
