Brief Answer:
No risk for cancer

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You are having itching of your breasts and nipples. This is due to irritation and possible allergy to your clothing. As long as you use the lotion to reduce the itching you are okay. There is nothing different you need to do. You are not at risk for breast cancer or skin cancer.

I would recommend that you stop using fabric softeners in your clothes as some can cause allergic reactions.

I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
