WOW, I had surgery on the 14th and felt that itch maybe a few days later. My doc took of all the bandages except for on the port. She said to leave that for another week.

As for the itch, I have been using a hydrocortisone cream and it helped with it minutes! I was so greatful. I plan on picking up some Mederma or Scar Cream today to help with the healing. If you don't have any cream right now, maybe try a low fragrance lotion to help moisten the area.

Best Wishes to your healing band buddy :)
