Itchy Incisions

[EmilyIsSleeved 6]

I would assume it is because I am healing, but lately my belly has been so itchy! I tried anti itch creams but nothing works. Just wondering if anyone else was very itchy around their incisions and what you did to solve the problem.

Oh yes! My incisions are always itchy during the healing phase. It's not much to be concerned about unless you start running a fever or if they become very inflamed or lots of draining occurs. I used Neosporin on mine and it helped a lot with the incision itching and healing quite nicely.

Well wishes to you! Congrats on your new tiny tummy!!

Oh yes, they itched...and I had staples so no way I could actually itch them. I had the staples out after 2 weeks and the itching stopped, maybe the steel in the staples was the culprit? i used neosporin after as well, works great!

I used Aveeno with oatmeal because my incisions were super itchy lol, it helped a lot. I had lots of dry skin and it needed to be moisturized. I now make it a daily routine to moisturize because it's a tad difficult for me to get my Water and fluids in.
