Itchy breasts/armpits

Hey, hope you’re all doing well!

 

I think I am just being completely paranoid but over the couple of months I’ve had extremely itchy armpits and boobs. When I google this, I obviously see it’s a possible sign of breast cancer. Lucky thing is, I don’t have any other symptoms.

 

I haven’t changed any deodorants, washing powder or shower gels etc either so I don’t know what could be causing it which worries me. I just want to know if anyone else had this but no other symptoms?

 

thanks!

  • Hello Robin1114

    I'm sorry to hear that you've had some health concerns over the past few months. Unfortunately searching Google for most health symptoms can lead you down a rabbit hole that ends with a cancer diagnosis. The good news though is that the vast majority of women who experience problems with their breasts aren't diagnosed with cancer. 

    The most sensible thing to do would be to make an appointment to speak to your GP who will be best placed to help. 

    I hope things are resolved soon. 

    Best wishes,
