I was at my little sister's school yesterday and I was helping her class with a project when I looked down to see the very tops of my breasts were red and blotchy, there was no discomfort though. So I went to the restroom and lifted up my shirt to discover the blotchiness was only covering my breasts. But then later on last night and all this morning so far I've been itching like crazy! I'm trying to hold back from it as much as possible, but it's driving me nuts! Are there any suggestions? And was my breasts being blotchy red normal? I'm going to my doctor's tomorrow for blood, so I'm going to ask them, but before that I want to see what you all have to say. ↓

just to clarify, I'm going to my doctors for them to run the routine bloodtest on me lol, not to recieve blood. ↑

try wearing a cotton bra that covers your whole breast and is well supportive ↑

I wouldn't say that is normal. My breasts have been occassionally itchy as well but not really any discoloration. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about but I would talk to your Doctor about it. ↑

I used Benadryl Clear Gel on it because I had it on top, underneath my breast--on my tummy--on the back of my legs--and near armpits. so you're lucky you don't have it all over LOL!!

Take Care!!

I had a simular problem myself honey! And it was on my breast! They would be a redish color and itch like crazy. Are you out growing your bra. I know it sounds funny but as soon as I went and got the bigger bra that I needed it went away. It might have been a weird coincidence. Also I had went to the doctor and asked him what to do because I had also gotten itchy bumbs under my arms and so he told me to get hydrocortizone cream and apply it to any itchy spots. It worked wonderfully. Believe me! I was itching like crazy and thought I was going to go insane! ↑

Thank you all very much for helping me out ! lol I drenched my whole front half of my upper body today in cocoa butter and walked around in a cotton sports bra...whew I was so relieved! The blotchiness didn't go away completely, but it was very light in only a few places. And I went to a search engine online to look it up, it said that some doctors say that it comes from hormones and some say it comes from a deficiency of folic acid or other minerals...so I took my vitamin, did the cocoa butter thing and drank 2 glasses of orange juice...And now I'm feeling much better, although I'm still going to discuss it with my doctor tomorrow morning. ↑
