Rosemarie, please read our post on itchy breasts; it should give you some idea about what this is, and what to do about it. It's up to you to decide whether/when to see a doctor about this; certainly, if your breast shows signs of infection (redness, pain, swelling), you should see a doctor right away. But if there's no visible change, and you can stand the itching, you could try to wait it out. Of course, if it's unbearable, best to see a doctor sooner rather than later, OK? Hopefully s/he'll be able to figure out what it is, and offer you some relief. Good luck - PJH
