Please help~I am scared~Could this be the begining of IBC or just a skin irratation?

Hi~

I have had a very faint pink rash on a part of my right breast for about 6 weeks now.  It does not itch or burn and does not cover the entire breast.  It also comes and goes.  I saw a local breast sugeon who said it looks ok and told me to come back in a month.  I also had a mammo done after the first breast consult.  Then I decided to go to a breast expert at a University teaching hospital in Phila..  She told me that my mammo would show a thickening around the outer layer of skin if IBC was developing and mine was fine.  Matched up to last years mammo perfectly.  She thinks it is just a minor rash.  I am still nervous.  Any advice?  Should I request a biopsy.  She knows her stuff and I have no other symptoms but the faint rash that comes and goes.  

Thank you!

Since you have already gotten the opinions of experts I would suggest you consult a Dermatologist. The symptoms you describe don't really say IBC to me. The skin on the breast is the same as skin on any other part of the body and is subject to the same problems. I think the Dermatologist would give you some answers as well as a solution. Regards ....
