summer134 23 Posted September 20, 2010 Mine it's so terribly bad. It drove me nuts all day and all night. I contacted my doctor and they said it could be the tape they used, so I pulled the remaining steristrips off after about 10 days. Also, I got Benadryl spray that really helped with the itching. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vlp1968 83 Posted September 20, 2010 I agree with the benadryl- works wonders on itching. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wickwit 1 Posted September 21, 2010 I had a piece of suture still sticking straight out at one end of my incision. It took a couple of days to work up the nerve to snip it off with a small cuticle scissor. But I digress...my incisions were itchy as h*ll, so I've been rubbing Vitamin E on them, morning and night. It's helped a lot. Hope that helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bandalley 0 Posted September 21, 2010 hi all, My incisions are super itchy too, today is my one week post op day. I put new dressings on because i thought it was the tape, it's not. So i better leave them covered so i don't accidentally scratch them. i will try the Benadryl though, thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelsey94568 0 Posted September 21, 2010 OMG! I remeber the bandages they places on my incisions itched so bad! In fact I have a little scar that outlines where the incision was because I itched it so much. A week after surgery, I learned hydrocortisone cream was my new best friend.
