I get that too, my doctor told me it is related to my hormones cycle. You have to check if it happens more often when you are ovulating or when you are close to your period. check with you gynecologist, I only get the itchy in one breast. Hope this helps you, do check it, it may be something else and you need to catch it early!!
Reply:maybe it's dry skin, try some lotion.
Reply:It could be the clothes you are wearing. Bought any new clothes lately? Or it could be something you ate, somethign you are allegic to. Try to recall. If not, consult a doctor.
Reply:this sounds stupid, but it could be your detergent. try one without dyes or perfumes for a while and see if that helps. could be your soap, shampoo, or body wash too. check out these simple things first before you start to freak out too badly.
Reply:Probably just dry skin. Try Lansinoh cream. Breastfeeding mothers use it. It's only about $10 at walmart.
Reply:Have you tried a new laundry detergent? Since a bra is so close to the skin, it is possible that you are getting irritation. Try some of the "free %26amp; clear" brands....





The only other thing I could think of is potential for yeast to grow if you perspire a lot.

Reply:Eczema- the itch that rashes.


This is eczema.





What Is Eczema?





An inflammation of the skin is called dermatitis. Eczema is a term that includes every dermatitis. These may include -





Atopic dermatitis


Irritant contact dermatitis


Seborrhoeic dermatitis


Allergic contact dermatitis


Stasis Eczema


Dishydrotic eczema


Nummular eczema





All the above types of eczema will itch and cause redness. Some of them are not dry, but weep. Some types peel and form blisters. Though the term eczema is frequently used for atopic dermatitis, as said before - the term eczema includes many other conditions. Out of the above, atopic dermatitis is most chronic and severe.

Moisturize AFTER you shower BEFORE you dry off.
Reply:Mine got that way when I changed laundry detergent.
Reply:..........no...sounds painful. I bet you have some kind of fungus of some sort on your nips. Go to the pharmacy at your local drug store, and they'll be able to point out a cream or lotion that will help until you make it to your doctors appt.
Reply:It could be all the answers above regarding allergies, but odds are your bio clock is in overdrive and your hormones are racing. It's common.....don't freak.
