What Causes An Itchy Breast?

I heard that if you have a build up of yeast, that your armpits/outside area of breasts would be itchy. those are the symptoms I have and I m diabetic, with generally a chronic yeast discharge. Is that true and is there anything specific I can do for the itchy breasts.

Hi,
This is common site having yeast infection.
Wearing bra there is more perspiration and less ventilation particular in cleavage area precipitates infection.
Wearing synthetic bra does cause allergic itching as well.
Wear cotton bra and clear perspiration frequently.
Apply anti-fungal cream locally.
Keep local part clean, dry and airy.
Ok and take care.
