Beryl, since you're experiencing this itching on both breasts, it would be very unusual for it to be a sign of breast cancer; itchiness is only rarely a breast cancer symptom, and usually only in one breast. Please read our post on itchy breasts for more information about what this might be, and what you can do about it. Take care- PJH
