Scab on my breast?
f/16
For some reason, my left breast has been itchy lately and I thought it was just the bra I was wearing, but idk... But, anyway, it's sensitive, so I'm very careful not to scratch too hard, but I noticed just a couple minutes ago that there's a weird shaped scab or something, it's sort of creasant shaped and it's mostly made up of three parts... Uhm, it's not bloody looking or anything... Scab is just the best way I can describe it. Anyway, can anyone tell me what that might be?

This may just be changing of the seasons! You probably don't have to worry. Although, if it doesn't go away in a couple weeks or gets a different shape, or just, worse, I suggest seeing a doctor!

Could it possibly be dry skin?
In the winter time I get dry skin on my breasts (and nipples), so I know it can happen. Usually it's just like any other dry skin though. Flaky, white, and sometimes reddish when the skin has become really irritated from the weather. I usually just apply some lotion or some lanolin to the area.
If your bra is too tight it may have rubbed you a little raw in that area and your skin is healing it, causing it to be itchy and irritated.
I did read that some women who don't change their bras often or don't scrub the breasts a little in the shower may experience some dead skin build up in certain areas. I don't know if that's a possibility but I'm throwing that information out there to you in case it applies.
And, last but definitely not least, is it possible you scratched yourself in your sleep a few nights ago and you're just now realizing there's a scab there?
If you're really concerned then see your doctor for a dermatologist referral.
