Yes, my nipple started to peel and was incredibly itchy, then whole breast decided to get itchy too, just keep slapping on the aqueous cream, it's annoying but it does clear!!!xx
cheers kat
If it keeps bothering you or gets sore it is worth mentioning to your radiotherapy team, as I got some hydrocortisone cream specifically for my nipple.
thanks squeek
When I got itchy, my rads team recommended trying anti-histamine tablets - My GP prescribed citirizine - the same stuff as Piriteze - and it really helped.
