Hi,
I would recommend you to cortisone cream on the affected area twice daily along with frequent and regular application of a moisturizing cream on the entire breast 2-3 times in a day. Also, take anti-histaminic like tablet chlorpheniramine maleate 4 mg twice daily. This should resolve your problem.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
