It doesn’t hurt or anything else just red like a rash almost. I do have very sensitive skin if that makes a difference

It looks like Allergy

Hi
I saw the pics.
There is redness which is like a rash over the skin.
It doesn't look like Cellulitis or Breast abscess.
It could be due to Allergy.
I prescribe Antihistamine tablet to my patients with similar complaints.If necessary,I will add a Corticosteroid also.
Please consult a Dermatologist for appropriate prescription.
Nothing to worry.
Hope I answered your query.If you have any questions,I will clarify further.
Wish you good health and speedy recovery

Hi thanks! I went out and got hydrocortisone 1% cream to put on it. I was concerned about breast cancer but it seems like it is a skin reaction.
