Lumps and inflammation under the breast can often be caused by sweating and chafing when your skin rubs together. Itching is also a symptom. However, it would be wise to consult with your doctor about the issue because they can test you for Breast cancer OR they can properly diagnose you and give you treatment for whatever ailment you have.
why are my breast sore and itchy
Not necessarily. However, if you are concerned, you should see a health professional.
Breast Pain and CancerThere is no specific type of breast pain that is a sign that a patient might have breast cancer. Breast cancer does not typically cause breast pain.Virtually all the breast pains that women experience are caused by benign problems. Most of these are caused by fibrocystic breast and hormonal changes.However, you have to be careful when you hear people say that if you have breast pain then, you do not have breast cancer. This is because breast pain and breast cancer can coexist in the same breast, but they are not usually related. In other words one did not cause the other.So, the same woman with breast cancer can have breast pain, just like the same woman with breast cancer can have blue eyes or grey hairs.So, a woman with breast pain is not protected from breast cancer and should still be screened for breast cancer like any other woman.

No. You may have a rash or yeast infection under the Breast.
The presence of tiny lamps or cysts in the breasts are commonly known as major sign of breast cancer more often than not. Other symptoms are itchy, sore, and redenned breasts, upper back pain, and nipple changes.
Possibly skin blemishes.
An itchy left armpit is not likely to be a sign that you have cancer. It is probably either irritation caused by your clothing, the deodorant that you are using, or a fungal infection.
IBCIBC is the acronym for Inflammatory Breast Cancer. IBC is recognized as an advanced form of breast cancer that is usually not detected by mammograms or ultrasounds. Common IBC Symptoms:a swollen breasta painful breastincessant itchy breasta rash on one breasta bug bite that won't go awaynipple changesa hardened area in the breast similar to a pencil lead, not a lumpThese symptoms may appear overnight without warning. If they do not go away with creams, ointments or antibiotics, demand that your doctor rule out IBC.Mammograms usually don't pick up IBC because so often there is no lump.Doctors misdiagnose Inflammatory Breast Cancer as a breast infection or mastitis. The only real way to rule out IBC is with a biopsy or PET scan.
Because inflammatory breast cancer usually doesn't present itself with a lump, and has a peculiar growth pattern, its symptoms are not typical signs of cancer, and may appear to be something else. IBC symptoms may include: * One breast larger than the other (this could be a cup size larger) * Red or pink skin * Swelling (This might appear overnight) * Rash (entire breast or small patches) * Orange-like texture (peau d' orange) (Some women have described this as a pitted look) * Skin hot to the touch on one breast * Pain and/or itchiness ***We all have pains or itchy breasts BUT if creams or salves don't help and your breast pain is consistent please see a doctor. * Ridges or thickened areas of breast * Nipple discharge * Nipples that appear inverted or flattened * Swollen lymph nodes under the armpit * Swollen lymph nodes of the neck If one or more of these symptoms continue for more than a week, talk to a physician immediately, and find an expert with experience in treating this particular type of breast cancer.
