Itching breast

Hi, 

I have been experiencing a really itchy right breast for a week or more and I'm wondering if I should get it checked out? 
 

I'm 33 and I have endometriosis. I am currently on month 11 of an 18 month Zoladex treatment course. I also use everol 25 patches. 
 

I first noticed the itching just over a week ago. It's not all the time but several times throughout the day. It's like something is irritating me but there's nothing there. I'm wondering with the treatment I'm on should I be concerned? 
 

Many thanks for any advice.

  • Hi,

    I know you are quite young but I would get it checked out if I was you, just to be on the safe side .

    I too developed a itch on my breast , it didn't itch all the time.. at first, just a itch here and there every now and then , once a day, a couple of times a day etc then it started itching every day, all day and suddenly I'd be waking up itching like mad, there was nothing to be felt or even seen and I decided I'd ask the doctor but then I remembered I'd had a letter in the post telling me to make na appointment for my first mammogram has I'd recently turned 50 so I figured I'd make one and if they seen nothing then I'd speak to the doctor about itch , unfortunately they found a lump on the mammogram and I was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer , they removed the lump and lymph nodes which the cancer had also spread to and a year after that they found the breast cancer had spread to my lungs and I have now got stage 4 breast cancer. 

    So yes go get the itch checked out for peace of mind
