Help! My Mum's Breast Itches Her Terribly by Malagans(op):
I write this with tears in my eyes. I'm confused and worried.

My mum's left breast has being itching her for quite some time now. She subtly scratches it as it itches, but there's no growth or lump on it.

I fear it could be cancer, but I don't want to believe it is, because it will really break me down.
She's in the village, a typical one at that where there's no hospital. I'm really worried.

I don't know what to do right now because I am not financially okay where I am. I'm just still squatting with someone and managing my life, hoping for better days. She's a widow. I would have wanted her to come over, or leave the village to a Good hospital where she can run some tests.

Doctors here, aside from cancer, what could this Be?

I'm really heartbroken. God, where are you?


Mods, please help out.

Thanks

No hospital there, except one dead clinic that is almost nonfunctional.

Breast itching alone does not automatically mean cancer. Many common causes include dry skin, sweat irritation, fungal infection, allergic reactions from soap or detergent, eczema, tight bras, or even insect bites.

Cancer usually shows other signs like a lump, nipple discharge, skin dimpling, or nipple changes. If none of these symptoms are present, it is often a minor skin issue.

She can try gentle soap, moisturizer, and loose clothing. However, if the itching continues for several weeks or worsens, it would still be wise for her to see a doctor when possible.

Hmm, which part of the country is that but I don't think it's cancer, I think it's infection, she should take antibiotics like septrin based on a pharmacist recommendation, use Dettol in water when bathing and you guys should disinfect your toilets

Try to shop new free bras for her.Atleast 7 and they shouldn't be repeated Also check the soap and the water.She could be reacting to them.

Lastly, don't forget the hot weather we are in right now.

Most likely a fungal infections. It's not cancer. Cancer doesn't present this way
