9 days post op can not take it tonight losing my mind. Trying to scratch around all of my wounds too crazy

I am 4 days post op I know what you mean. Just rub around them.They are healing

Lotion is normally a good way to stop an itch, or try an ice pack. Good luck, it goes away.

I had it bad too...just don't scratch! Get in the shower and let some warm Water run over them. It is a temporary fix but it is a few minutes in heaven .

My surgeon's nurse advised me to put some cortisone lotion around the incision but not on top.

So last night itch at peak. Areas are red and puffy, my skin is very sensitive. Broke down and called the on call doc today he said try Benedryl so wish me luck

I took One Benedryl and it took the itch from a ten to a 7 for fear of sleeping the whole day away I didn't take two but it probably would have helped
