Hi,
If you have no nipple discharge,inverted nipple or feel any lump in your breast, except the itchiness,it could be just dry skin and I strongly doubt that it has anything to do with breast cancer.
The skin of your breast is like the skin on any other part of your body and subject to all sorts of abnormalities.Since oil is helping the dryness for a while,I would advise you to get an ointment called "Lansinoh".It's usually used by breastfeeding mothers,but it works wonders on dry skin that causes the itch you are experiencing.
If despite using the above measures the condition does not improve,it would be better to consult a dermatologist for evaluation.
I hope that you'll soon find relief.
Take care...
