Since November of last year, I have had a constant itching near my nipple on my left breast. It does not correlate with my period. At other times the itching will turn into an intense burning sensation, and it is so intense that it keeps me from sleeping. The first time it happened, I insisted on having a punch biopsy which thankfully was benign. I have had 2 U/s, mammogram, and 2 MRIs over the course of the year and nothing has shown up. I am 35 years old and all of my scans say that I do have extremely dense breast tissue. I was just wondering if anyone had every experienced this, and if so, how long did it take until your symptoms were either diagnosed or resolved? If they did resolve, what did you do? At this point, I think I have to trust my doctors and assume that this is not breast cancer although there are times that my mind does go in that direction and I start to worry........

    Yes!! I wouldn’t say mine was intense but it’s definilty there almost every day. Mine also started last November and I’ve had mammogram, ultrasound and breast exams several times. Nothing has shown up. I didn’t have a biopsy but I think it’s safe to say of it were IBC that it would have been much worse by now. Mine is in my right breast only and I do have pain that comes and goes.
