HI Regansmummy,

I am sorry to hear about your persistant itch. What age is Regan? Sometimes having a baby can alter your breasts, but in most cases it is treatable and not necessarily cancerous. There are creams available on prescription, which will reduce itching, even if there is no rash or fungal infection present. It might be worth discussing with your GP if one of these preparations might help you.

I have had 2 bouts of breast cancer in the past 10 years and my surgeon advised me that in most instances a cancerous lump is not painful.

Do please let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Hello. I know this is an old post but did you find out the cause? I am also experiencing an itchy and painful left breast, radiates to my neck and shoulder. I am also 14 weeks postpartum, any reassurance would help.

Thanks

Hi Kmac,

I am sorry to hear of your symptoms. 

I am not a doctor and, although I appreciate that this could all be related to your pregnancy, I would advise you to consult your GP about this. It is unusual to have pain accompanying breast cancer, so I am hoping that this may be hormonal, but you are better to get it checked out, even if only for your own peace of mind.

Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
