You need to have this checked by a competent doctor who can rule out inflammatory breast cancer.  It could just be a rash, but just in case, you want to have it looked at right away.  Make sure the doctor knows what you are talking about when you ask about inflammatory breast cancer.  Some doctors actually only know about cancer that causes breast lumps.
