For months now, my cleavage has been itching on and off. I have been using the same soaps and perfumes for years now. So it cant be allergic reaction or can it? Im pretty well off with my immune system. Im 26. Also I noticed a week ago these small clear like fluid blisters forming on the sides of my breasts, next to large red bumps. No open sores or anything. It was just weird. The itching is unbearable, and its freaking me out. I also found out that breast cancer and heart failure, (problems) run in my biological side of the family, in only the female side. I found this yesterday evening. Which didnt put any ease in my thought process. Is this a form of cancer to have itchy breasts like this? Especially when its been a year with this horrible itchiness?

As per your case history, you are having intertrigo. My treatment advice is - 1. Maintain good hygiene and bath twice daily. 2. Apply an anti-fungal cream like Clotrimazole cream twice daily on it. 3. Take an antihistamine medication like Levocetirizine twice daily for 7-10 days. 4. Other treatment options are oral Fluconazole, Itraconazole, and Terbinafine is taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
