Does Radiation Therapy Cause Itching And Burning Sensation On The Body?

I had breast cancer 10 years ago . Chemo and radiation treatments. Been ok for last 7 -8 years. Started itching and burning about 3 to 4 months ago. No discoloration, I think I might feel a small lump. I was told it was from the radiation. Do you agree? Thank you! Ann
