In response to:
Since you've had surgery in that area, perhaps there was some nerve damage. At any rate, I'd ask a breast specialist about this; they'd be able to tell you if it's a skin issue, or something more systemic. There is a very rare form of breast cancer, one of the symptoms of which is an itching nipple, but I wouldn't stress about it... Also, if the itching changes into something that looks like an infection, or it becomes red, or otherwise doesn't look right—see the doctor sooner rather than later, OK? Good luck - PJH
