Early signs of IBC?

Hi everyone,
I need some info. I was diagnosed in 06 with HR2 and have been taking Herceptin for the last few years,(previous BC in 92,not HR2) 3 days ago, I started having alot of itching on my chest area. I scratched it all day long but didn't look at it, as I had been having very dry skin lately. At nighttime I saw that I had a very red rash all over my chest, not real bumps but all over. The next morning it was not as red because I didn't touch it all night but a real whelp about 1/2" long had also come up on my old scar from '92.I immedatley went to the ocol. dr. and they have put me on a steriod pac to see if will go away with that. Today it seems not as red and the whelp is much smaller. I would like to know if anyone had this kind of symptoms? Did the steriods change the appearance? I want to catch this quickly if it is IBC. Thanks and God bless, nini
