Inflammatory Breast Cancer

I was surfing the web and came across a newscast from Washington. This newscast was about IBC. What is IBC? Inflammatory Breast Cancer.
This form of cancer is a second type of cancer that is not spoken about and many times misdiagnosed as a bug bite on the breast because the symptoms are similar. I saw the newscast and thought that I should try to alert other women there about this form of cancer.

Some of the symptoms of IBC are
Enlarged breast
Rapid breast growth
Inverted nipple
The breast is hot to the touch
Constant Itching
Redness

How IBC can be detected by your doctor
MRI
Biopsy
