gustavio 439 Posted October 17, 2016 So, my surgery was nearly 2 months ago but I've had major itching on my abdomen and lower breasts. (Breasts being the most intense) I will scratch until they are raw. Incisions are healed. Skin isn't dry. Anyone else experience this?

Raynbolite 302 Posted October 17, 2016 I've struggled with it too. My problem is moisture for me. I try to keep my skin dry, powders, anti-perspirants...I wash and dry it a lot. Frustrating. Sent from my XT1650 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trekker954 421 Posted October 17, 2016 yup, for me itchy arms, upper, lower, doesn't matter. I try to latter on the body cream rather than itch. But its so weird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sammy246 235 Posted October 17, 2016 I think some of it is hormone related. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nannare 38 Posted October 18, 2016 I think I had a reaction to the iodine. One week after surgery I woke up with my abdomen itching like crazy, I put on lotion and went on with my day. I actually had my first post op appointment that evening. Doc said everything looked good. That night I got worse, the next day my torso was covered in tiny itchy bumps. Two days of benadryl and finally went and got shots. The only areas were where the iodine touched my skin. It's been 3 weeks and I still have a little itching.. Good luck.
