My incisions are starting to itch due to healing help any suggestions what I can put on them to stop the itch

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

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.

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!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
