Itching in left chest

Many women experience itchy breasts. Generally speaking, there are two situations in which breast itching occurs. One is caused by external irritation, and the other is caused by bacterial infection of the human body. In addition, there are some diseases that can also cause breast itching.

Causes of itching on the left breast of women

First: Breast development during puberty

A woman's breast growth and development begins during puberty, which is also the time when the breasts grow rapidly. But what is the reason why the lady’s left breast itches? The rapid growth of breasts will cause breast secretions, which provides a breeding ground for the growth of bacteria. If hygiene is not done well, such as using inappropriate underwear, soaps or shower gels; or if the breasts are not cleaned in time, it may cause dryness and desquamation of the breasts, breast pain, itchy breasts, etc.

Second: Itchy breasts during pregnancy

Many pregnant women also experience itchy breasts. Experts tell us that this is a normal reaction and there is no need to worry too much. As the number of days of pregnancy continues to increase, the woman's breasts and milk bubbles will swell, which means that the part of the body that secretes breast milk continues to grow and develop, which is a normal phenomenon.

Third: Excessive cleanliness causes breast itching

Being too clean is not a good thing. It will affect the normal skin care needs and cause the oil layer on the surface of the skin to be damaged, which can also cause itchy left breasts in women.

Fourth: Skin diseases cause breast itching

What causes breast itching? In addition to some of the conditions introduced above, a large part of the causes of breast itching in daily life are caused by skin diseases. Excessive friction between breasts and underwear may cause eczema. Eczema is a common skin disease, which is more common in women who are breastfeeding. It is also common in adolescent girls.

Fifth: Breast Cancer

If the body not only has itchy left breast, but also has nipple pain, breast heat, or even lumps or pus in the breast, then you need to pay attention, because it is very likely that the body has breast cancer.
