Hello! I know there have been some threads on this issue in the past but I'd like to start a new one in case there are folks out there who are currently experiencing breast itchiness and have resolved it? My is focused on one breast mainly; I have no other symptoms of any kind going on there and my doctor checks it during my annual mammogram. All clear. The itch comes and go a bit and it also moves around from armpit to nipple. I've tried Evening Primrose Oil but it's only marginally helpful. I also put Bio-oil on after showering. I'm not on HRT (yet!). Anyone got any solutions?! It drives me MAD.

      Thanks very much for your reply and your kind suggestion! I have tried topical things like Bio-oil and coconut oil but the itch is inside the skin - or feels like it's underneath it. It seems to be hormonal but I'm unsure. It definitely gets worse with stress too... 😕 I'm going to try acupuncture soon - I've had great success with it for gynae issues before.
