Are Eucerin And Neosporin Reliable To Treat Rashes And Itching On Breast?

The skin on my right breast is itching on and off for a week or two and also a little around the nipple.Feels like tiny light pin pricks from time to time. My nipples have always been inverted. I have tried using Eucerin, hydrocortison, neosporin, chapstick, carmax, alcohol, peroxide (the latter two on breast NOT on nipple). There is no change in size, structure, color and not hot to touch. there is no visible rash. I have stopped wearing a bra for 2 weeks, thinking it was an irritation from it or chaffing...but the itching continues off and on. The other breast is fine. This happened to my right breast last sept. and I saw my gyn and he said nothing looked abnormal but ordered a mammogram done (apart from my annual) and everything was fine.He suggested I use a cream to treat yeast and or ecezema and I used what he prescribed and it went away then. I trhink it was flocosonicaal or some spelling close to that, but I no longer have that. I just started a new job and have no time to go visit my doctor.What are your thoughts?

Itching may be due to hot humid weather / tight outfit / infection. bath twice daily with antiseptic soap. do not use creams such as hydrocortisone without prescription. consult doctor in person for inverted nipple. neosporin can be used locally if you have rashes and eucerin can be used if you have dry skin but first itch should be controlled for which I would suggest you to take anti histamine after consulting your doctor in person.
