Itchy breasts can be a difficult problem, but usually the cause is not dangerous. Because the cream helps and the itch comes and goes, this is not likely to be cancer. However, I do think you should follow your doctor's recommendation to go to the hospital. I'm not clear whether he is referring you to a specialist with an office in the hospital or whether he wants you to have some further tests like a mammogram or ultrasound done. Nevertheless, you should trust your family doctor's recommendation that more investigation is needed. Please try not to scratch; that can make it worse. Try pressing really hard with the palm of your hand without rubbing or scratching. I hope you soon get some relief.
