my breasts itchy

I'm 39 weeks and I only had nipple tenderness at the beginning of my pregnancy. My breasts haven't been tender at all. I just count myself lucky. My OB said I shouldn't have any problem unless my nipples were inverted, which they arnt. Best of luck!

L:L but i dunno, and my breasts are slighlty large and also itchy. but i dont have the spot things on my actual breasts, on the bit where your breast joins the rest of your body at the bottom i have a few there and i have some on the actual nipple.

10 weeks pregnant and my breasts are soooooooooo itchy!!!!!!!! Anyone else experience this or know any helpful tips?

Is it like red, dry flaky skin that itches? It could be eczema, I get this weird itchy patch of skin on my chin and between my breast when I'm pregnant. My dr said it happens sometimes with all the hormone changes. She told me to use hydrocortisone cream.

My cycle is due in 5 days. However I spotted 5 days ago. It was light pink and brown for an hour then went away. My breasts have been extremely itchy. I don't know if I experienced implantation bleeding or not... I also have gained about 9lbs in 3 1/2 weeks. I guess I will have to wait to see if my period comes. Anyone experience this?

My last annual was in March 2005 but I made an appt for next Thurs 01/31 to see my ob/gyn. I was reading on line about itchy breasts and that it might be a sign of cancer. Is this true? I just have been thinking it's changes in my breast tissue or something. What do you think? I haven't changed any soaps, detergents, etc. not putting lotions on my breasts either. Help!

Can somebody tell me why my breasts are so itchy I don't understand and also my back itches a lot also....it is very irritating!

At first I thought that it may have been fabric softener or dry skin or something but then I began to wonder if there was a bigger problem going on. I scratch across my breasts (nipples too) that I leave red scratch lines. I scratch so hard that I don't care if my skin bleeds! Hopefully you get an answer soon. I'll check back later.

Hi everyone, Yesterday my 17 year old daughter was scratching her breasts, and asked me if my breasts were always itchy as she always has itchy breasts.. I know that this is sometimes a indication that something could be wrong...should I be concerned, since I am going through the whole breast cancer thing right now? My cancer is HER 2 +, ER + PR+ BRAC -... I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I just thought I would tell you that.

Omg. I forgot about this. I had really itchy breasts with my first pregnancy but put it down to my excema and I have really dry skin. I've had no problems with this current pregnancy. I think I used the oil that I was using on stretch marks and lots of heavy moisturiser. I remember this driving me nuts though! Let me know if anything works!

My breast have been very itchy all of a sudden, before they used to be sore and now they are really itchy! I tried checking it up but no luck. I am not pregnant, I do not use different soaps, everything is completely normal. So why do my breast itch sooo much??

22wks along n my breasts itch soooo bad!!! I scratch n there is no relief... anybody else have this problem?? What can I do for this? Lotion doesn't seem to work for them....

d go get checked out, if you do not see dry skin. Itchy, painful breasts can be a symptom of something far more serious.

i have recently been getting itchy nipples, this occurs on both breasts and the itchiness comes and goes, it feels like hairs sticking in the skin. i haven't changed my washing powder or soap and there is no redness or lumps or any noticeable changes, the only thing different is the nipples are sore to press but only the nipples not the breast.

Hey I am 26wks pregnant and developed this itchy rash on my tummy. I was using palmers cocoa butter cream but stopped but it's still really itchy has anyone else had this happen to them. What did u do to relieve the itchy feeling?

m 8weeks and I have a million questions like when can I find out the sex? How long before I can feel the baby move? Also are my breasts suppose to be this itchy and irritated?

I use Palmers cocoa butter concentrate in a tube. It's pretty thick and helps. I have itchy Boobs too but what's worse is under my stomach is so itchy!

I have a lump that has grown quickly (from a pea to a large grape size) in the last two weeks in one of my breasts. It is right next to my nipple and is tender, heavy feeling, red, and sometimes itchy. Does anyone know what this could be?

I'm going to be 7 weeks tomorrow my stomach is so itchy is that normal so early in my pregnancy

I don't what to suggest other than to take a nice warm shower. I've been getting itchy all over my breasts, bare back, and sides that I just had it and showered. I felt so much relief after that.

i understand that it is common to have soar breasts before my menstral cycles but im not gettiing my periods at all its been 6 months and still nothing i no im not pregnant cause i had my tubes tied in 2003 is there any other things it could be??????

I also have the itching sensation from time to time, either that or the tender pain. My poor breasts turn into rocks after delivery. Anyways, maybe that can help- since it has to do with your skin stretching.

My breasts was the only thing that got bigger through out this pregnancy my belly just looked a little bloated till I hit about the 31 week mark then my belly started getting bigger but my breasts have started growing again and the nipple is sore and I get shooting pains all the way through them I'm now 32 weeks 5 days

Ok im 14wks will be 15 tomorrow..

I noticed today that my aerolas are no longer dark brown, and are now the same color as my skin. I also noticed both nipples have basically disappeared, like they are completely flush with my breast, nothing protrudes out anymore. My right breast feels smooth all over, while all you can feel on my left breast is the on-going itchy dry skin patch next to my nipple. I've tried antifungal creams and pills, hydrocortisone, etc. but it still itches like mad and won't go away.
