Holy ITCHY incision sites Batman!

[rswa3319 69]

Hehe mine itched like crazy too!! I just scratched around them. It's not perfect but it certainly helps. Hot showers help too for whatever reason. Thankfully it doesn't last forever though! 9 months out they itch every once in a while but at least now I can scratch them.

I also had the skin glue and in one of my sites I had a piece of the dissolving stitches poking through the glue. I actually talked to my surgeon about it and he said he'd never seen that before, made a comment about me being overly gentle and said if I was up to it all it would take would be a little exfoliation and it would come right off. Lol most bizarre conversation I've ever had with a doctor. Well...aside from the importance of bowel movement consistency after giving birth to my daughter. LOL

Mine stopped itching around 4 weeks out, by 6 weeks all my glues was gone. I used to take allergy medicine like benadryal to help wit the itching so you won't need much just a pill every now and then helped me through the tough times. Just be careful no to scratch the glue off until its time.

I started itching reading this post. My itchy-ness went away 7 days after surgery.

Oh my lanta. I'm so glad I'm not the only one with this issue. I have tried just about everything and can't get the little snots to stop itching. Just (not so)patiently waiting for them to come off.
