Itchy boob

Hi everyone, 

Can someone please help! After lumpectomy and radiation now on AI's, I have a very itchy boob.  Is this a symptom of my lymphoedema or a side effect of the radiation that I finished 12 months ago?

I also read that recurrance is sometimes itchy?

Just worried.

    I don't know why yours is itchy but I did have the same thing about a month ago. I have not had radiation but the itch was powerful and consistent, drove me crazy for about two days but then after it, I got a little feeling returned to the area which had had no feeling since DMX. That said it is also the side of my lymphedema. Hopefully yours will pass too but if your worried about reoccurrence you might want to make an appointment with your BS if for no other reason that to allay your fears x
