Itchy breasts

My son is a month old and I’ve been exclusively pumping due to latching issues. So far it’s actually been great however this past week my breasts have become so itchy I’m scratching them until they almost bleed. My nipples are fine it’s just the entire breast area around them. Has this happen to anyone else and if so what is it and is there anything to get it to stop?

Could be a yeast infection, it’s possible to get them on your breasts, I had it when i breastfed. Make sure you’re always cleaning your breast as much as possible and keeping them dry too, moisture is what makes a yeast infection grow.

I have been exclusively pumping for almost 5 months and for the first month and a half my breast were itchy. I have no clue why but it ended up going away for the most part. Every now and then one of my boobs will start to get itchy again.
