My right breast has been itching for a few weeks now on and off. It hurts but real bad. And it is only my right one.I havent really noticed anything else just the itching there is no marks. I was just wondering why it would be itching? Should I go to the doctors.

Dear justwondering208: There are many possible explanations for itching including allergic reaction and skin problems to name a couple. If the itching is unrelieved or if you feel a lump in the breast, you should have it checked out by a doctor.
