I'm one week post op. I itch so bad, I want to scratch my darn stomach off! From the hair growing back to the incisions healing, I'm about to go nuts! Dammit! Haha

Cold compress will help.

So, my stomach still itches. Inches appear good, with no infection (not oozing or sore). I'm a principal at a middle school. The school nurse said it looks like an allergic reaction to the bandages. Anyone have anything like this?

Where the tape was, it was red and swollen on each incision.

I had an allergic reaction to the sutures and the bandages. It was awful, hydrocortisone cream helped.

Think liquid Benadryl will help?

I'm allergic to the tape they use, too. If you ever have to have tape again? Be sure to tell them to use paper tape. It's not as strong but worth it to not have the allergic reaction.

Mine gets bad enough the skin will actually crack open. If your skin isn't broken, some Benadryl cream helps a lot. Just be careful to only put it where the tape was not on the incision itself.

The incision is sealed. They said that it didn't hurt it.

I have the same thing! Had surgery on 3/12, and i totally forgot to ask at my staple removal apt yesterday

Oh I had this and then found that I was allergic to all bandage adhesive. It was a big P I T A because I couldnt keep it covered and got infected and ruined a bunch if clothes. The only thing that worked for me was big pieces of gauze and that elastic bandage thing they.gave me after surgery. You can still see where the band aids were even thought my surge/ry was/13

Omg I itched sooooo bad!
