Hi! Since you are new in town I would find a General and have a check-up and get some baseline work done. Have to check out the itch you see it you have a generalize dermatitis from the weather, diet or bra. It's always good to get things like this checked to make sure it may be something as simple as a topical fungus. Very common in the summer and especially if you share beach towels. He could also recommend a good Ob/gyn. Since the benadryl hasn't work, why don't you try Lotrimin AF and see it that stops the itch in one pr 2 applications. Then you already know what it is. If you have any other questions, please ask.

If you any reason to believe you have inflamation due to Breast Cancer then you should be seeing a doctor ASAP rather than writing here. My first husband was a Ob/gyn and my daughter is a nurse, I work with women alcoholics for over 20 years, most have a high rate of cervical, uterine and breast cancer. I don't think cancer based on itch. Inflamantion, lumps, bumps, discharge, pain etc. then that would be my first choice of doctors. You only said itch. If you have a concern, call now.
