Q: Hi,for 2 weeks, my left breast has been itching like crazy. I've tried cream for eczema a few times but it doesn't stop the itching. Should I be worried and go see a Dr. ASAP?
Hi - This sounds very uncomfortable indeed, but please don't be scared. I'm sure you're worried about inflammatory breast cancer, but considering how rare it is, and how many other reasons there are for breast itchiness, try not to stress. Seeing a doctor would be the best way to get the information you need to put this behind you, so best to make an appointment. In the meantime, our post on itchy breasts should give you some insight into possible causes. Hope this resolves itself soon- PJH
