To detect IBC one needs to have MRI or a biospy and to know all the warning signs which are; One breast enlarges and the nipple inverts or an inverted nipple, thickening of the breast tissue, rapid increase of breast size, reddness, skin hot to touch, persistent itching, and orange peel texture and of course the sweeling and lump under the arm.
