My boobs itch... Why???
My boobs have been itching for about a month now and I have no idea why. I saw somewhere that they itch when they are growing... Is that true? I have also had allergies that started about about a week after my boobs started to itch. I get little red bumps that itch rlly bad and once i itch them they itch more and more and then I get a gigantic red thing... I only itch on my stomach and back though. So the main question is why are my boobs itching... R they growing?

Since different types of clothing is one reason, I must add that it may not be the clothing but the residue of any laundry detergent you may be using or soap in the shower. While we tend to think most of soap is rinsed out in the machine, our clothes does have residue and that high perfumy scent of clothes after a wash is a tell tale sign. Anything that comes into contact with your skin, even cologne, or skin creams, soap, shampoo can cause itching and rash.
So if its been a change of laundry soap or shower soap a month ago, thats a likely culprit and I would discontinue using it. For a detergent, since we're sensitive, we switched to using Dawn dish soap for cleaning our clothes after my daughter learned it cleans cloth baby diapers better than anything, getting out any remaining urine proteins and oders that may still be stuck in the diapers after washing. It cleans well, removes soil and smells and doesnt leave any high perfume scents afterwards. For body soap, perhaps Oil of Olay body soap for sensitive skin. It worked when we switched a teen daughter to that long ago.
Itching can be due to hormonal changes in cycle and has been cited as common among teen girls. Whether its due to growing larger or not, I can't say though.
Since you do mention a rash on stomach and back, it may be related, but again may not be. As I've gotten older, when I tend to stress for too long, I sometimes get patches of itchy rashes on my body that can show up just about anywhere. At the time I was getting a divorce, it was maximum stress and I had a rash that covered my whole body except for my face thank goodness. I am not a Dr. so its best to be seen by your Family doctor who can then send you to a dermatologist. My regular doctor gave me a medicated ointment that worked well on the rash that I had on my neck about 6 months ago. In the last month, it began to crop up again but I have lots of this ointment to use as needed whenever and this time, using it right in the beginning and not scratching helped in heal and be gone in 5 days. Yes, the scratching spread what ever it was that caused more rash and I found it hard to resist scratching and would be doing it without thinking about it. So even if its just stress related, you'd need to see a Dr. and get medication for the skin to get rid of it. As for stress, each persons body reacts differently to it and the amounts or type of stress can differ. Whats stressful for one person doesnt faze another. Rather than list those possibilities, I leave it to you to think about what has changed in the last month or month leading up to when it started. It could be anything, change of school, dad lost his job, boyfriend break up, tests coming up in school, etc...
