The only thing that's help is a nice warm shower and don't dry too hard.

Same! I also wore my binder for at least 2 weeks out so that def helped a lot too.

Mine itched really bad too - about a week out. The itch was insane! I was afraid of infecting the incisions if I put anything on it. So, when I couldn't stand it anymore, I would rub belly to relieve the itch and then I tuck in my shirt to reduce it from itching my incisions.

I put Neosporin I think it had pain or itch relief too. Hope it gets better soon

I just lightly rubbed over mine when they itched and it normally helped.

Also, benadryl has something for itch that goes on top of the skin, but with this I'd check with the doctors office first about it.

My doc told me to take the benadryl pills not to put anything on them. And the benadryl helped a lot! Thought I would lose my mind without them.

Mine are itchy too! I might consider taking Benadryl but it knocks me on my butt

The itch means that they are healing. I scratched around my insicions, looking closely not to harm them. It seemed to help.

My surgery was on dec 5 and my incisions are itching like crazy... but I scratch very softly around the incision and it helps tremendously.

My first day was nausea and pain, my second day was sleep sleep sleep, my third day was great and everything was fantastic UNTIL my incisions started to itch a few days later. Ugh hehe, i really frickin' hated that. I did find a Neosporin antibiotic gel that also had anti-itch. It helped so so much. Good luck, hopefully it'll subside soon.

I'm two weeks 3 days out of surgery. My incisions still itch bad and red around them. My doc said its an allergic reaction. Benadryl is my friend right now. I hope its over soon!
