Itching Like Crazy!

By JoyNFl on 11 Mar 2012

Okay girls...I had my breast reduction almost a month ago. And, I know that itching is a sign of healing, but OMG!!!!! I am so tired of itching all that time (at least it feels like it). Any advice??? My PS said that I can't put anything on the incision at this point. I have been trying to put lotion on my breast without getting it on the incisions, but that only works for so long. Any advice at all?

I agree, Benadryl. I want so badly to put something on mine also. I have Doc appt tomorrow. I will ask.

I am going throught the same thing. I had my reduction 2 weeks ago, and the incisions are healing and boy do they itch. I was told not to put anything on them either. If you figure it out, please let me know. I would suggest maybe a Benadryl at night.
