Stretch marks FROM Surgery

[likeblanche 0]

I know this sounds crazy but I have stretch marks around my port site and towards my insicion sites since my surgery!! These are what are the most uncomfortable, they feel like rug burns and they itch insanely bad!! I couldn't believe it when I first saw it and I have to say I am a little dissapointed, I was having this surgry so I wouldn't be getting any of these anymore:unsure:

Walgreens has a scar oil that worked wonders on my wrist where a plate and screws were installed from my broken arm. The scar is still there but greatly reduced and is almost gone from sight.

That sounds very odd to me. Unless you had some extreme swelling post surgery and your skin was not able to hold up under the pressure, it doesn't make sense that you would get stretch marks from surgery.

There are lots of creams out there that might help you heal. Especially if you look in a maternity section of a store. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.

Are you positive they're stretch marks? No possibility of infection?

I have heard of people getting stretch marks from gaining weight and losing weight and back and forth with weight. But I have not heard of someone getting stretch marks from surgery.

Have you had a fill yet? Just wondering if your doctor has seen this when giving you a fill and what their feedback was.
