smrogg 49 Posted July 4, 2015 My incisions are so itchy today!!! I guess that's a good thing cuz I'm told they're healing but OMG it's driving me nuts! I just want to scratch them but I know it will hurt! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chelleshocked 130 Posted July 4, 2015 My entire tummy is itching! And the incisions seem sore today, whereas last week after surgery there wasn't much pain I'm right there with ya. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greenbaymichk 30 Posted July 4, 2015 So I guess I'm not crazy…i am an itching food who has developed a tender spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
no onions 258 Posted July 4, 2015 It's very odd -- my incisions (or areas very near) them have all been more painful feeling. I thought it was just one area yesterday, but it's really all them today. I'm calling my Dr tomorrow, just to be more certain. Hopefully it means we are all healing up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ready2B 263 Posted July 4, 2015 The itching drove me crazy too - an ice pack might help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dnieto80 0 Posted July 5, 2015 I experienced the same thing 5 days after surgery. I figured it was because they were healing so I started applying Neosporin on them and it helped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BostonHopeful 6 Posted July 5, 2015 When I was banded in 2009 the stitches were intolerably itchy. Turned out I developed an allergy to the adhesive in the bandages! take a closer look and see if the area where the adhesive is touching your skin is red and irritated--could be the problem...

harriskristen1586 0 Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) I haven't had surgery yet but two c-sections taught me the best way to relieve the itching is patting the insisions. Nothing hard but patting them rapidly will male the itching go away. Edited July 6, 2015 by harriskristen1586 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PChayy05 75 Posted July 6, 2015 Wow, same here. I am 11 days post op, and last night and today.... my incisions are DRIVING ME NUTS. I just want to scratch them so bad. I'm patting them, and just trying to ignore it but it's bad. @@BostonHopeful that is great advice, I noticed last night that most of my incisisions have a slight redness and irritation that I didn't have last week. During my one week appt, my doctor stated the adhesive can start coming off so I think i'll start slowly peeling them away. Hope we find relief soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smrogg 49 Posted July 7, 2015 I too have redness underneath the Patches. So weird! I'm going to the dr tomorrow for my follow up. I'll see what he says then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BizzyB 119 Posted July 7, 2015 The itching is such a pain! Took everything I had not to go scratching! I had surgical glue on my incisions and I was so glad when it finally came off! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smrogg 49 Posted July 7, 2015 Update: I went to my follow up today and it turns out I had an allergic reaction to the surgical glue. My dr prescribed my a pill to take to clear it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
