The fact that you mention it's been going on for 6 weeks is a bit alarming. Have you heard from your mammography center, the doctor or nurse, or any other followup since the exam? If not please follow up with them to get your results right away.
Other things to look at:
Have you changed laundry detergent, skin soap, shampoo, or body cremes in the past 2 months?
Are you using dryer sheets or other softener?
Has your diet changed to include more dairy than usual?
Is the type of heat in your house different than last winter?
All could cause allergy/sensitivity reactions and can be handled as previously mentioned.

Good luck in this interesting investigation.
