What Are Symptoms Of Inflammatory Breast Cancer?

What is the best way/test to know for sure if I have inflammatory breast cancer? Yesterday I had a mammogram and I was told that everything looks ok, but I have a spot, right next to my right areola that does not want to go a way, I have it for almost 3 weeks, does no hurt to the touch or itches. This spot started as a red spot and then turn purpulish like a bruse, then started going away but now it has a darker purpule spot in the middle and has a couple of tiny blisters. My breasts have been sore, my left breast has been having some shooting pains. Also, my nipples are red and itchy, and have a little bit of white thick discharge. Thank your for any advice you can give me, I amworry but my dr and mammogram techicians do not seem to be concern.

Dear,
There may be nothing serious. You must be having contact dermatitis. Do not rub the area, keep pure cotton padding over it and wipe it dry after applying a soothing lotion to it. Slowly the problem will wane else get the culture sensitivity of the discharge done to get proper antibiotic if the culture sensitivity demands so.
