I read inflammatory breast cancer can look like a bug bite on the breast? how quickly does it spread externally from there?

Not a bug bite: Unusual rare form of breast cancer. Diffuse redness and swelling of the skin of the breast. Need to see a doctor for an exam.

Not usually: Inflammatory breast cancer may present like an infection in the breast with swelling and redness with thickening and dimpling of the skin. It is unusual for patients not to seek medical help in these situations. The danger is that the doctors may miss the diagnosis if they don't pay attention and order the right test or referral.
