Ok I am 1 month out since surgery and this is a new issue for me. For the past few days my incisions have been itching like crazy, I wake up in the middle of the night scratching, and its really keeping me up and through out the day it is so annoying, I have applied , antibiotic cream, lotions , hydrocortisone cream, to no avil any suggestions?

Im just 2 weeks out and Im not only itch on my wounds but my whole body has been itching like crazy for the last few days. Im going to go to the Drs tomorrow I cant stand it anymore.

I had the same thing. My doctor told me NOT to put on that triple antibiotic cream which they have now determined causes allergic reaction in 15% of people - in fact he told me to throw it away. He gave me some heavy duty prescription stuff that seemed to stop the itching and help the discoloration. I also took two Benedryl at night to stop the itching and help me sleep (per the doctor). About a week after I started taking the B1 I actually broke out in major hives and when I looked up B1 and hives, it apparently is a not so uncommon side affect. I stopped taking it and haven't had another break out.
