Recognize dry skin. Dry skin is a major cause of itchy breasts. Itching from dry skin often involves more areas of your body than just your breasts. Treating your current outbreak of dry skin can also help to prevent future problems.
Dry skin can develop in patchy areas. The patchy areas tend to have flakes or the area may tend to peel. Areas of dry skin can feel tight or stretched, especially after exposure to water.
Patchy areas of dry skin appear darker or duller than normal skin tissue and may appear wrinkled when compared to the smoother texture of healthy skin.
Dry skin on your breasts may tend to get worse in the colder and dryer months of the year.

Change your bathing routine. Lengthy showers or baths and using hot water temperatures can cause your dry skin problem to linger, or possibly get worse. [1]

Bathe or shower in warm water and avoid prolonged exposure to hot water.
Use unscented soaps that have a high fat content or those that contain glycerin. Avoid perfumed products like bubble baths. Use a loofah sponge or gentle bath cloth and avoid scrubbing your skin harshly.
When showering, consider applying soap to your breasts only every two to three days. This will allow your body's natural oils to be replenished.
Pat your skin to dry off after bathing or showering and avoid harshly wiping with a towel. Apply an unscented moisturizer immediately after your bath or shower.
An alternative to applying a moisturizer after your bath or shower is to apply a bath oil product immediately before you get out of the shower. Let your body dry naturally without wiping harshly with a towel, especially around the areas of your breast that are the itchiest. Bath oil products are slippery so take precaution not to fall.
If you are an athlete or go to the gym regularly, take quick showers after your workout and bring your own soap.
Limit your use of antiperspirants and perfumed products due to their ability to dry the skin. Deodorant products are less drying to the skin than antiperspirants.

Protect your skin. This includes protection from the sun and harsh chemicals. Wear clothing that covers your breasts, or any exposed areas of your skin.
Use a sunscreen product that contains a moisturizer.

Always use unscented skin care products that are designed for sensitive skin.\
Apply a waterproof moisturizer before you swim, such as a thin layer of petroleum jelly. Shower and apply a moisturizer as soon as possible after swimming.
Thick, creamy moisturizers, such as Eucerin and Cetaphil, may be more effective at moisturizing than thinner lotions. Petroleum jelly is also thick enough to moisturize your skin well, and is very cheap.

Choose laundry products that are labelled for use in people with sensitive skin. Select products that are dye- and fragrance-free.
Try using fragrance-free fabric softener. Fabric softener can help to reduce the harsh effects of washing clothes in areas that have hard water. However, many fabric softeners can trigger allergic reactions, so if switching to fragrance-free softener doesn't help, eliminate fabric softener altogether.
Rinse your clothes thoroughly by using an additional rinse cycle to be sure all detergents and unwanted chemicals are removed.

Wear soft and breathable fabrics. Select bras that have less padding and are not made with stiff and scratchy lace. If possible, wear bras made of cotton. Go without a bra whenever you can. [6]

Wear tops, blouses, or dresses that are loose fitting and made of comfortable and breathable fabrics such as cotton.
Be sure your bra fits properly, including sports bras. Chafing and itching can be caused by bras that do not fit well.
Remove your sports bra as soon as possible after exercising to reduce the moisture and sweat that stays against your breast tissue.
Do not sleep in a bra. Wear sleepwear that is comfortable, breathable, and loose fitting.

Avoid scratching. Trying not to scratch an itchy area is a difficult thing to do, but important in preventing complications.
Scratching the area causes the skin to become even more irritated, leads to more itching, and can possibly lead to an infection if the skin is broken.
Apply gentle pressure with the heel of your hand, gently massage the area, or place a cool cloth against the area to reduce the itching sensation.
Many people scratch at night without realizing it. Try putting band-aids over your fingertips when you sleep, or sleep with socks over your hands to help avoid scratching.

Use 1% hydrocortisone cream to treat itching. You can buy hydrocortisone cream over-the-counter at most pharmacies. Apply the cream topically to your skin for minor itching. You can usually apply it 1-4 times per day. [7]

If your symptoms do not improve within a day or two, call your doctor.
Call your doctor immediately if you develop side effects such as redness, swelling, or pus discharge.
To apply, wash your skin gently and pat dry. Then apply the cream in a thin layer and rub it in gently.

Recognize a fungal infection. The most common places for fungal infections to occur on the body are in warm, moist places where there is little light. Armpits, the groin area, and under the breasts are common areas for fungal growth. [8]

The inframammary fold is the area under the breast. This area is well-suited for fungus to grow. The most common type of fungus that causes an infection under the breast is a yeast called candida.
This is the same yeast, or candida, that causes vaginal infections and yeast infections in the mouth called thrush.
There are no serious long-term consequences of a candida infection under the breast, other than a darkening of the skin which can be permanent, and the possibility that the condition will spread.

Look for a rash. The rash associated with a fungal infection under the breast can vary in appearance. The rash occurs in areas where the breast tissue folds against the skin of the upper stomach or chest area. [9]

Most often the rash will be pink to red in color, itchy, have areas that are growing outward, and contain small bumps, especially along areas where there are hair follicles, such as under the arm.
The rash is sometimes referred to as an intertrigo rash.
Intertrigo is an area of the skin that is inflamed, and occurs in places that are warm, moist, and where two skin areas press against each other. The rash associated with intertrigo can be caused by a fungus, bacteria, or prolonged exposure to moisture.
There is usually an odor present. The odor is caused by persistent moisture and the breakdown of healthy skin tissue.

Treat the condition. Treating a fungal infection with associated intertrigo under the breasts can be accomplished by altering the environment that is promoting the growth of the fungus, and by using an antifungal medication prescribed by your doctor. [10]

To alter the environment, take steps to avoid the skin folds pressing against one another and prevent the accumulation of moisture.
Be sure you have a bra that fits well and prevents your breast tissue from resting against the skin of your upper stomach or chest area.
If needed, use a dry and clean cloth, or sterile dressing pad, placed at the base of your bra to absorb any excess moisture and prevent the skin layers from touching.
Wear a clean bra each day. Also wear loose fitting tops that are made of breathable fabric, like cotton.
Remove your bra whenever possible. Place a clean, dry, towel or dressing pad between the skin folds.
For men, avoid wearing tight shirts and shirts made of fabric that causes you to sweat more. Consider wearing cotton undershirts to help absorb moisture.

Take steps to dry the area. Be sure you thoroughly dry the area under your breasts after bathing.
It may be helpful to avoid dressing immediately after bathing. Take time to allow fresh air to access the affected areas of skin.
Lie back on the bed or stand in front of a fan to allow the skin folds to be thoroughly dried before dressing.
