Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns. In my opinion you need to take antihistaminics and also I suggest you to apply mild steroid ointment at the area where it is more itchy and that might help you. Avoid foods which will aggravate itching and good hygiene will help you with this. Hope this answers your query. Thank you.

Hi,
I can understand your concern for the itchy rash on breast. After reading the query, in my opinion it appears to allergic dermatitis.
I suggest you to apply medium potency steroid cream application because are best effective in these condition. I would have opted for either mometasone or Fluticasone or cortisone cream.
Do not pinch, pop or scratch or even touch the area unnecessarily as it can cause aggravation of the rash.
Wear cotton clothes and cotton inner garments which will give a soothing feeling to the skin.
Stay away from extreme of environment such heat and humidity.
Take care.
