awhite1825 1 Posted July 1, 2018 Hey all! New here! But I was wondering if anyone has had super itchy incisions??? Like all I want to do is scratch them so badly!! I know itching is a sign of healing, but just wondering if anyone else experienced this? Also how long before these typically heal for y’all?? Thanks!! 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Synergy 4 Posted July 1, 2018 OMG Yes this was my biggest issue Post OP I'm 16 days out and I think that they just stopped itching maybe 2-3 days ago. Using Dial Gold when showering helped alot 1 awhite1825 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As long as there isn't any redness that is fanning out, discharge, or warmness to the touch... you are probably OK. It's annoying tho! 1 awhite1825 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattymatt 491 Posted July 1, 2018 The itchy incision factor is pretty common. I would try my best not scratch at them but gave the hell up. At least as they heal up, it gets better. 1 awhite1825 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frustr8 7,886 Posted July 1, 2018 Mrs Old as Dirt to the rescue. Take 2 washclothes, sew around 3 sides, take oatmeal, yes the kind in the tall round box with the smirking,old fashioned dude, fill up 3 quarters way. sew shut. Now dip,into .coolish Water. Pat places gently. Really that's all Domoboro soaks are at the pharmacy, colloidal oatmeal. They can be,pricy, you,have duplicated it, on the cheap. You're very welcome!😛 1 1 Frustr8 and awhite1825 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yo-yo girl 118 Posted July 1, 2018 Itching is a sign of healing leave it alone! Don’t scratch or put anything on there it’s supposed to be dry and clean. As told by my surgeon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
