I had my surgery 4 weeks ago and my incision itch like crazy. Is there anything I can put on them?

    If your incision is closed completely and has scabbed over, then I would put neosporin on it. You can put the hydrocortisone cream or I used Sarna lotion around the incisions which stopped the itch.

    You don't want your incisions to become infected. That would be my only worry.

    I remember that mine itched like crazy starting 4 days after surgery and lasted for a couple of weeks. But, that's how I knew I was healing! :)

    Good Luck!
