      Bio oil as often as you can on them. It stops the itching, smells great, doesn't cost too much (you can get it at SAMs or Costco or a drug store) and it will make the scars heal without being too not

      I only had one incision (belly button) for my surgery and it itched so bad. I used a water bottle and would squirt water on it. I think the glue is what made me itch.

      I think this is good news for you! You are healing :-) I think Bio Oil is a good suggestion too!
