How do you soothe itchy breasts?

This last week my breasts/nipples have been insanely itchy and the skin around my nipples has been chapped,I've tried unscented vitamin e lotions, petroleum jelly, cold compresses, I've even attempted putting chapstick on them and just nothing is helping me! It's driving me insane!

Oh I feel ya! Yea using the Palmers cocoa butter for stretch marks works in the long run. But using a soft baby brush to itch gently is amazing!!!!!!

I use some sugar scrub from bath and body works and put it on my breasts and stomach at night in the shower and after that I am completely fine. I have been doing it since I started to itch and I have no stretch marks... Yet. I am 31 weeks and 4 days.

This is just horrible, I'm only 13 weeks and I'm already starting to lactate, and it's just getting bad. I don't know what else to use, I have to be really careful of any products I use because I'm allergic to soy, so I have limited choices
