A member asked:
Does inflammatory breast cancer first start as redness on breast? i am a black woman and just noticed redness on both breasts. i panicked because i know about ibc. no swelling just redness, could it just be my bra?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
yes it could. Bilateral infl. breast cancer is unusual. Stop wearing your bra for a week or so and see how you are. If not better see your MD. I think you will be OK
