This sounds so stupid, but.....
Right, this might get a little confusing and i know it sounds really stupid but has anyone ever heard of getting scratches without scratching yourself? Last week i had 2 big scratches on my boob, my mum said it was probably molly (My puppy) But then that weekend i slept at my friends and noticed 2 on my other boob, only small but deffinately there! So then i knew it wasnt molly. And earlier i was sat smoking and could feel a burning sensation on my boob and went to have a look and had 3 really bright painful scratches there. I know whilst i was sat there i did NOT scratch myself and molly was in bed. I know so many of you will be laughing right now and i feel like im going out of my mind anyway so laugh away! But its so frustrating. Can you get scratches without scratching yourself? It is so painful i had to take my bra off. Am i going crazy???

dont worry your not going cazzy i had the same thing but on my belly i to though i was going mad i thought i was scaching myself in my sleep so i put gloves on but they still appered they are strech marks but mine do look like i have had a fight with a cat or something they will get better i have been useing cream just to help with the soreness hope this helps but dont worry your not alone xx (sorry about the spelling )
In my last pregnancy I got horrendous stretch marks on my tummy that just appeared over night and they were exactly how you are describing yours. They were very red and sore and looked like they were about to bleed. Have you noticed that your boobs have got bigger tho, coz I only thought you got stretch marks like that if you skin is pushed right to the limit. Also i no this sounds stupid but pregnant women are more prone to skin conditions such as exzema so it could be something like that. Keep us informed about it, Kerry xxx
I think this is down to my boobs growing and also its a sensitive area anyway. But yours sounds quite worse, are the scratches scabbing over, if not id say they are probably stretch marks. Mine did scab and has now gone so i'd obviously scratched myself at some point.
