4 days post op and my incisions/surrounding areas are really itchy. A friend told me to try tea tree oil but I can't remember if they said not to apply anything to the site...

The itching is a sign of them healing. My doctor told me to keep mine clean and dry. Also, not to put any cream or ointments on them.

Soap and Water only. With a good rinse.

Mine are itching too and today I have a rash on various spots on my body. Not freaking out. Got diaper rash cream to see if the rash improves and it already looks better than a few hours ago. Now if I could just stop the incision itching...

I am just a little over 3 weeks out and my incisions were itchy too. My problem was I think I'm allergic to the adhesive they used to close the incisions. I experienced this with the last surgery I had. My doc suggested a Benadryl itch cream but put it around the incision, not on it. Once the adhesive came off it made a significant difference in the itching.

Good luck!

Tea tree oil will burn. May not want to put that on them. They are still open. Mine itch too.. yes they are healing. I just rub them through my shirt and scratch around them when it gets bad.

My doc told me to put neosporin anti itch around them.

I use the teatree oil soap from trader joes and have no issues no hard scrubbing just use your hands.

Try rubbing them through ur shirt! No oils or ointments. Itching is a sign of healing. Best of luck and congratulations! ????

Hi same thing happened to me. Doctor looked at mine said it was an allergic reaction to the glue on the tape. My sleeve was 8/17/15 he told me to use hydrocortisone Benadryl cream. Soak in warm bath.

Itching and rash I put Benadryl lotion the clear lotion on it and it helped
