I used Benadryl cream. It helped.

    Don’t scratch at them. Put lotion on them. It’s the healing process that’s making it itch.

    Think your healing. Annoying but a good thing! I used anti itch cream

    I'm using Bio-Oil on mine and it keeps them lubricated and so they don't itch and also it'll minimize the scarring.

    I agree with@GradyCat, Bio oil helped me so i continued with it all over my tummy. Can barely see my scars now. itching has stopped.

    Mine are sometimes itchy. I just kind of gently scratch around it.

    It's part of the healing process. I itched the area around the actual incision. It's annoying but shortlived!

    Othella, mine were pretty red, not spreading and my Dr said they were fine. This was at 15 days out.
