Wear oven mitts!! Lol, jk.

I'm not sure what you should do... I tend to itch around the incision and that makes me feel a little better, but mine isn't all that bad. I just took the stitches out today, and still have them bandaged up. You could probably try that, if you tend to do it while you're sleeping, just put some gauze over them and some tape.

Sandi.. U had stitches? I didnt just a whte peice of tape that came off after a few days.. Im 14days post op and i know there ichy cause there healing but its annoying lol.. So when did u have ur surgery

Mine are itchy, too. And yes I agree it is because they are healing. My have a clear type glue substance over them. I scratch around them but keep telling myself that my post op is just a few days away and maybe it will be better.

Itchy too .. I scratch around the incisions. So far I haven't scratched at night, that I know of.

I have glue on all but one incision. One is a little larger, maybe 2 inches with internal stitches and tape.

We're healing! It's a wonderful thing. :)

Yep... stitches... apparently Mexico is still doing things old school lol. I'm now 12 days post op. They itch a little bit, but its not to bad.
