Detailed Answer:
Welcome to health care magic, I share your concern and I will try to help you out in best possible way.
The itching might be due to variety of reasons. the most common being fungal infection, due to wetness prevailing as a result of sweating in between the breasts.
If it is also associated with redness and ring shaped lesions, it is confirmatory of fungal infection.
To avoid this u need to keep the area dry by applying dry talcum powder before wearing under garment. and avoid tight under garments which don't provide air to dry.
if there are skin lesions similar to m above description, then you should also apply antifungal cream like flucanozole.
Hope this clarifies your doubts. Revert back to me if you have follow up queries.
