First of all, don't worry that it's cancer. That is very unlikely based on what you are describing. I do think you should see your doctor as they will be the best person to diagnose you. It sounds like you could be having an allergic reaction to something that is coming into contact with your skin. Do you spray perfume on your chest or apply powder? If so, this could be the culprit. Once again, a doctor is the best bet. Remember that boobs are no big deal to them. Seeing bodies is what they do day after day and if you think of it like that, it helps. Good luck, sweetie, and I'm confident everything will be fine.

I often feel self conscious when I go to my OBGYN or my primary doctor when I have to take my clothes off. It helps me to remember that my doctor sees many patients of all shapes, sizes, ages, etc. everyday. Doctors have seen it all before. Nothing really phases them. They are professionals.
It is very important to get an expert diagnosis and some medication or treatment for your condition. Please don't be afraid. Explain to your doctor that you are a little shy. A good doctor should try to make you feel comfortable. Good luck!

Doctors see lots of boobs and other body parts everyday... they couldn't care less about yours.
Cancer won't look like a rash, you're fine...

If you're sure it's eczema, you can just go to the local pharmacy and get hydrcortizone cream over the counter. . . if it still doesn't clear up after a few days, then make a doc's appointment.

Is it on top or under? If it is under it might be a form of a yeast infection which can be cleared up by cream. You might try some cortisone cream if it is on top.

First off your health is more important so try and let it go because your life is worth more then embarrassment

Eczema is just dry skin.You do not have to see a doctor about it, unless your mom really wants you to. Try putting cream on your breasts, that might help.

you shouldn't feel embarassed on showing your doctor . they have seen a lot and it does not phase them. go and get some medication for it. try using vitiamen e oil on it. and keep putting cream on it. good luck.
