Disease description:

My daughter came home from school yesterday and told me that her breasts had felt itchy for the past two days, causing some discomfort. I’m not sure what’s causing this, so I’d like to ask: What are the possible causes of breast itching?

Hello, itching of the breasts may result from localized dermatitis, mammary eczema, or allergic reactions. If no skin abnormalities are detected during examination, it could also be due to elevated hormone levels stimulating the mammary glands. Should symptoms persist without improvement, pharmacological treatment is recommended. We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
