Suggest Treatment For Severe Itching On The Breasts

Maybe contact dermatitis.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
I understand your concern. In most cases of itchy breasts,
- clothing and underwear are the problem. The fabric used may be causing an allergic reaction (contact dermatitis) or it may be too tight or not allowing
-adequate ventilation, especially if you live in a hot and humid environment.
- If you spray perfume directly on the skin of the chest or breast are likely to suffer with skin irritation as well.
- may be associated with hormonal changes like prior to your period (premenstrual).
- Breast fungus tends to occur under the breast or on the sides of the breast.
- If accompanied by nipple discharge and/or any fixed and growing lump in the breast should be taken more seriously. This can at times be an indication of breast cancer.
If your beast itching is not due to any serious cause and is intermittent and infrequent, then take note of factors that tend to trigger the itching and avoid them.
I would suggest you to try :
- Wearing bras made of light fabrics with good ventilation.
- Do not use tight fitting bras or lingerie.
- Always practice good hygiene – regular bathing with thorough washing around and under the breasts is important.
- Dry your breasts thoroughly after bathing and avoid strongly scented creams and perfumes. Beware of breast enlarging creams – they rarely work and can cause dermatitis.
If your symptoms persists or worsens it is best to meet your dermatologist or gynecologist for a detailed examination.
I hope this answered your query.
With regards,


Moisturisers and Benadryl skin cream
Detailed Answer:
Hi again,
Itchiness can be due to dry skin also. You can try moisturising your skin adequately or can use Benadryl cream for symptomatic relief for 2 to 3 days maximum a week.
I would suggest you to visit a doctor personally to rule out any serious cause.
I hope this answered your query.
