This article on itchy breasts will give you some background information about possible causes. Has the itching been a couple of weeks or months? I'm not clear on how long you have had the problem. If it has only been a couple of weeks, the cream may not have had enough time to work. If it has been a couple of months, I'd suggest seeing a dermatologist. Diagnosing skin issues can be tricky, so a dermatologist is more likely to get you the right cream that will give you some relief. Try not to scratch; that just makes it worse. Try pressing hard with the palm of your hand.
