Super itchy under breasts

Hello ladies,

Anyone else feeling super itchy under their breasts? I have a big chest and wear bras with underwear and while my boobs have definitely filled out I don't think I need to go up in bra size yet. 
However, I notice after a whole day in an underwire bra I'm starting to become increasingly more itchy under my boobs. I try not to scratch and it doesn't look like I'm getting stretch marks but does anyone have a recommendation for relief? 

Thanks!

    Try lotion with Vitamin e!

    My breasts are feeling ginormous and heavy these days. Adding heat to the mix makes for irritation under my girls as well. I don't believe my irritation is caused by dryness or stretching skin and I'm not keen on keeping the underside of my breasts moist. I've resorted to applying cornstarch (making sure to cover the area above and below the bra band) and have found it a great relief.

    Very smart. Thanks!! Sounds like we are in a similar boat. Good luck darling :)

    Could also be yeast... your body is having chemical changes and its just one of those gross things big boobed ladies are prone to... wash your bras after each wear, using topical anti fungal lotion and keep dry...

    if it has a funky or sweet smell it would be a dead give away

    I second a possible yeast rash. Very common especially for those with larger busts add all the sweating from pregnancy and the underboob is an ideal yeast location.

    Is this possible even with no rash? There is no smell. The vitamin E in my Palmer's lotion seemed to help. Thanks for the tips ladies. I'll try washing my bras more as well.
