Both m y breasts have been severely itchy for about a month now. Something I should be concerned with? i called my gyno and they never heard of such a thing and said don't worry about it. Should I not worry?
Do your breasts at all look different, like a sore or rubbery-looking skin? If so, it could be a fungal infection which would cause a lot of itching. If it is a fungal infection, use cornstarch on the area to keep it dry. You can also go to your local health food store and get ASAP gel and put it on the area. Be sure to properly wash your bras and shirts and to keep the area as dry as possible.
If it's not a fungal infection, are your bras at all itchy? Did you change laundry detergents or are using something new on your breasts? If so, I'd stop using that.
