Re: Itchy breast patches

Hi Misty,

I am not a doc, but have had similar experience. You might want to try some cortisone cream (over the counter) and vaseline. Put the cortisone cream on first and then the vaseline. If you have a problem using cortisone cream, just try the vaseline alone. You may have dermatitis.

I was told that this is wear my bra was rubbing and it was causing the problem. It is more of a problem during the winter. If this doesn't work, you should see a doctor.

Best wishes, D.N.
