Does inflammatory breast cancer look like dermatitis? or it is just swollen and red, like mastitis?

Like mastitis: It is red, thickened and can look like an orange peel. Referred to as peau de orange. Hope this helps.

Breast cancer: If you have dimpling like the surface of an orange. If you have this you have to be seen by a breast surgeon and a medical oncologist.
