    Re: Itching on one breast, when to worry?

    I'm going to try out the tissue trick! Unicorn, I get this too if I don't moisturise there every day. When it first started I panicked but spoke to my GP on the phone who advised me to use over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream for a week and then just moisturise. A tip with emollients like aveeno and e45 is to apply them in the direction of hair growth, rather than rubbing them in in all directions. It helps to avoid irritating the hair follicles. I think your plan to moisturise and see your GP if it doesn't improve is sound. Hope it eases off soon. Itchy boobs are not fun!

    Yep, you can get that cream in any pharmacist, but you have to use it very sparingly and only if you really need it. Its great for dermatitis patches (I used this too on my chesticle and still do for a patch that comes up periodically on my face).

    Thanks dying swan it’s such a delicate area to have itching so much.

    Sorry to bore everyone bur I always like to go back and update my threads for anyone who is searching in future.

    Today its barely itched, mainly when taking my bra off and getting into the bath and that’s about it. Few times it’s felt a bit sore but to be expected as period has just started and I’ve scratched it a lot over the week. I’ve been using the “e45 itch” cream which can be used twice a day and the tissue trick. Both have helped massively. X
