I'm asking on behalf of a midwife who has a client with a 23 month old
child.  Since about 3 months, the mother has had "profound" itching between
her breasts, especially at night.  She is large-breasted, and her breasts
touch in that area when she's wearing a bra.  She is braless at night, but
of course if she lies on her side they probably touch.  There's no itching
beneath her breasts, where she must also have skin-on-skin.

Apparently there are no signs of thrush there or anywhere else; her skin
looks perfectly healthy.  No hives, either.  Just normal skin.  That itches.
She is ready to wean over the constant annoyance.

Any thoughts beyond benedryl?
