Itch

My incisions itch like crazy. Has anyone had this problem?If so what do you do or use to stop it?

I am having the same problem. I have been using Vitamin E oil and that helps a little but I would also appreciate any suggestions.:confused:

Mine itched, but it was just healing and I could make myself ignore it. Yours sounds worse, so if I were you I'd call my surgeon. You may just be healing, or you may have something else going on! S/he can tell you what, if anything, you can put on them. While we're healing, most surgeons do NOT want us messing with the incisions. You aren't even 2 weeks post op yet so I don't think they'll want you to put any topicals on there, unless they prescribe them. Good luck and hang in there!

but do call if it's really bad...just to make sure you don't have an allergy or something.
