What causes itchy breast skin?

Some women often have the feeling that their breasts often have itchy symptoms at irregular intervals, sometimes before menstruation, and sometimes there is no regular pattern at all, and the itching symptoms may not occur at any time. When the breasts are itchy, white discharge may often be seen from the nipples. So, what is the reason for itchy skin on the breast? How can it be relieved?

The main reason for breast itching is that the breasts are home to many glands, which secrete a large amount of oily substances. If they are not cleaned in time, they may cause lipid acidification and dirt accumulation over time, thereby irritating the skin around the breasts and causing itchy chest feelings. Therefore, women must pay attention to cleaning the skin on their chest on a daily basis.

Some other women prefer bras made of chemical fiber or other non-breathable materials. However, such bras may cause breasts to be blocked from ventilation due to the non-breathability. In addition, sweat cannot be discharged in time, which may cause itching of the skin around the chest.

There are also some women who obviously pay attention to breast cleanliness and wear loose and breathable underwear, so why do they have breast itching problems? In fact, this has a lot to do with the cleaning products we usually use, especially some alkaline shower gels, which will destroy the keratinized cells on the surface of the breast skin, causing the skin around the breast to become drier and drier, resulting in an itchy feeling.

Some patients may not have any clear lumps found in the breast, but only have itching and rashes on the nipple and areola, which looks like eczema. In fact, this may be a special type of cancer, namely nipple eczema-like breast cancer, which can also cause breast itching.
