I used benadryl cream on mine, it helped with itching.

Mine were a little itchy too but I started putting coconut oil on and still use it every morning and night. Helped w/ the itch, the healing, and they are a lot less noticeable....

That is your body healing.

I was telling my Primary the same thing about it being extremely itchy and said to put frozen bag vegs on my stomach. I was surprised by how much it helped.

I had a lot of itching too and my doc said to apply Benadryl since it is not an nsaid. Others are so be careful.

I’m almost 2 weeks post op too and have the same issues with 3 of my 6 incisions. Waiting to apply something when I have my first follow up appointment Wednesday.
