Breast "itchy": The skin on and around the nipple area (areola) is sensitive, and loose clothing or a loose fitting bra can irritate one side or the other with movement (exercise). Try some "over the counter" cortisone ointment to the affected area. If this is not working, see your healthcare provider for a stronger remedy.
