I need help!
My breast itch like crazy they are sore I've tried creams but they don't work. I don't scratch because they really hurt. Soaking in the bath tub stops the pain but that's only for a period of time. I can't have kids any more, so I know it's not from that. I don't know what to do. Please help so I can get help!
Concerned
I really don't have an answer for you, as a nurse I really don't diagnose folks that is someone elses job function, I f soaking relieves the pain you may want to continue this process, examine the clothes you are wearing could your Bra be creating the discomfort?

Although Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) and Paget's disease of the breast are two forms of breast cancer that may include itching as a symptom, it is unlikely a be a symptom of cancer. IBC is associated with other symptoms such as inverted nipple, soreness, swelling or sudden enlargement, aching, swollen lymph nodes under the arm, etc. Paget's usually has the rash around the nipples. You need to see a dermatologist and have a skin biopsy done. This is likely caused from an allergic reaction and it could be a new soap, cosmetic or a new bra. Formaldehyde is often used as a fabric finisher and is considered a probable human carcinogen by the EPA and is also a known allergen. If you stop and think about it you may have purchased a new bra recently or perhaps even switched laundry detergents.

Have you changed your lanudry detergent? Maybe you are allegic to something. Are you using a new bra maybe made with laytex and you are allegic to it. I know of alot of people who are allergic to laytex. Did you change deodorant or soap? Check these things and if everything is the same as you have always used them then you should go see a doctor.
good luck!

Yes, Or it could be a nerve issue, similar to shingles. Itching can be either interna (skin), or external (nerves). PJH

Yes, it could be an allergy or sensitivity to something in the detergent. Try changing your detergent to something like: all free clear. It has no dyes, perfume or preservatives. You can read more about it here:

They even have a coupon so, good luck!
p.s. try to use a moisturizing lotion... maybe the skin is dry and therefore itchy.
So could it be allergic reaction to detergent even if there is not a rash and they just itch?
