For a while I've had this thick, light brown, patchy skin between my breasts, very similar to caked on dead-skin in feel. I'm light skinned with blue eyes and I've never cared to spend much time in the sun. Before it never bothered me, but recently if I scratch at all (even lightly at an itch) or touch it too much, it becomes very, very sore. It doesn't turn red. I've told my mother about it, but she doesn't seem to take much interest.

It really frightens me and I was wondering... Do you know what it could be? I'm scared to assume the worst- cancer, seeing as my uncle died from it (stomach), as well as my grandfather (skin).

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
