Huge Rash

[Krystle 2]

Hello All,

I don't have steri-strips on my incision sites and last night my tummy started itching!! Like I want to tear it off. Since I don't have the steri-strips on it I know it's not a allergic reaction to the glue. Anyone else have this problem???

My incisions itched from the healing process. It has happened every time I've had surgery.

I itched because they shaved my tummy. I didn't realize that until the little hairs started to itch as they grew back in. Maybe that's what's happening to you?

So glad to hear someone else has gone through this! I itched like crazy and I even had some red bumps and rashy looking areas on my belly. Everynight I applied over-the-counter cortizone cream and after about a week and a half post-op it cleared up.

If it doesn't clear up for you, either talk to your primary or your surgeon. They can give you an Rx for some stronger stuff.

Good Luck!

Thanks so much. The itching is good today. I am a week and two days post-op. So it's getting better. I have been appling topical cream to the area's that are rashey. It's been working. Not 100% sure what caused it. But it seems that a lot of people get this from surgery. The incisions still hurt but I am getting better day by day. Thanks for the help!
