Rash getting worse after insect bite. I am worried.

Resolved Question:

I have a rash that has been getting worse for about a week. It started with insect bites that were itchy. The insect bites have now gone but I still have the rash. It doesn't itch. It's not raised. I'm getting quite worried as it's not improving.

Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com.
I think you might have just bruised your breast accidentally.
Breast tissue has a lot of fat, and accidental injury can lead to bruising within.
You can apply ice packs / hot compresses, and avoid handling the area.
ALso, it can wait for a few days if you do not find that it is worsening.
Could you please upload a picture so that I can have a better idea ?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Take care.


Patient replied :

I have attached a picture, I should also mention that this particular nipple was feeling weird all last week, it was very sensitive and was aching/hurting a bit.


Hello,
Looks like the beginning of an infection there.
Try the ice packs, if it does not get relieved, you might need to see a doctor for antibiotics.
Take painkillers and OTC anti inflammatory agents also.
Avoid synthetic fabrics for a brasserie.
Wear cotton bras, or , if within the home, just a camisole.
Take care.
Regards.
