how many incisions did you have?

I have 5.

It seems like its where my skin touches itself. Under breast and sides of stomach. But then its on my stomach as well. I used clear calamine lotion but I'm still feeling yucky.

I think Monday morning you should call your Drs. office. If it was right after surgery, I would think it was an allergic reaction to Betadine, but if it's been awhile since surgery I'm not sure.

I really don't think Calamine lotion will help, maybe Cortinsone 10 lotion an antihestimine (sp?). IMO

Yeah I'm gonna call its gotten worse. I thought maybe it was from me using the surgery soap and it dried my skin out. I used it after also since I still had some. But even so it would be all over.

Could be from the soap. It doesn't necessarily have to effect the whole body. I know this b/c I'm the Queen of sensitive skin.

I didn't use any the last two days and its gotten worse. My skin is really sensitive too. But never reacted like this. I was using vaseline to try soothe myself. It's not a dry skin issue. I dunno. But I'm going to be a cry baby on Monday when I call doc. Lol. It almost feels like my face is about to start...wahhh.

being a little itchy is good it's a sign of healing but you could also be having a reaction. i took an allergy medication after my surgery and it took care of the itch

Yayy healing!!! Oddly enough I'm itching away from the incisions. Lol. I'm sure when I wake up and still going through this I will try benadryl.

that's what i took and it helped so much! my whole stomach itched like crazy and not just around my 6 incisions. i scratched once and went through the ceiling! lol

Did u use cream or liquid? My skin is red and raised.

i used the liquid. i didn't want to risk using a cream near my cuts

I don't understand why your post keep changing from Rebirth to Nomorebigbaby and sometimes both at the same time. How you doing that?

I changed my name on the pc. But now I'm using my phone. Guess it's an app hiccup. Lol
