Itchy???

I'm itching like crazy around the wounds. I's this normal?

  • I believe that means they're healing! Annoying, but normal!

  • Lady from Irvine, as I read all the posts on here I feel exactly the same! I was banded on the first and isn't have an appetite because of all the things u just mention for the first four or five days

I had the same problem with the scan coming off. I cleaned the wound with peroxide. I may get some of those steri strips. Let me know how yours works out. I'm concerned about it as well.

If its forming a new scab it's fine. Just keep cleaning it. I just bought antibacterial shower gel and have been using that in the shower on them. The only thing I'm putting on them during the day is aloe vera gel and that has been good with the healing. I'm going to ask the dr fri if there is anything else I need to use, and when I can start using scar medicine. Someone told me to use vitamin e caps, that they work well on scars.

I bought a bottle of vitamin e oil (less than 5 bucks) and have been using it a couple times a day. I'm shocked at how great my scars already look just 3 weeks out!
