I had a tummy tuck Jan 2021. I still numb till this day and I am ok with that. Periodically I will get a strong itch under the surface of my skin on my belly button. Because I am still numb I cannot get rid of the itch. It comes and goes and over the time of having it done I have put it down to nerve damage. Could this happen, still after 2 years? Im worried it could be a sign of cancer.
22 days post tummy tuck, liposuction of trunk and arms. About a week ago started developing an allergy like rash to tuck incision and at every liposuction incision. No pain, fever nor other sign of infection, only this super itchy rash. Currently on Benadryl and Bactrim as per PS , just to prevent any infection from developing.
Allergic to surgical tape so was glued (using dermabond?). Week 4 glued tape removed, ends of incision on both hip started itching and welting. Small blisters, spread to almost entire incision. Told to start moisturizing, got worse. Actual incision is fine...just alongside the top and bottom of it. PS put me on a 6day pack of prednisone and I switched from nivea to aveeno. I'm on day 4 meds now and areas seem less inflamed. Itching less intense. Any idea on why? And any advice? Thx in advance
I'm four weeks post op from a full tummy tuck. Over the past few days I've developed an insanely itchy rash (small red bumps) along the outside edge of portions of my incision line. I have not been using any lotions or ointments at all. Is this part of the healing process? What could be going on? I have been using gauze and tape over some areas where some sutures have spit, but the rash isn't only around those areas. It seems odd. Thanks for your answers!
It's been 6 months since my surgery I had a hernia repair along with a abdominoplasty and my scar is still very red and now itchy.. I don't scratch it us e only natural organic products to bath that have no sulfur. I use constantly... Extra virgin Coconut oil.. Argan oil .. Coco butter and now Vitamin E is there anything else I can use to lighting the scar.
Hello. I notice many patients have the tape/steri strips over their tummy tuck incisions. I had a horrible reaction to the strips with my last c-section which left my stomach itchy, red and blistered and I had to take antibiotics. Is there an alternative to the strips following the tummy tuck procedure?
Hi docs! I had TT 5 weeks ago. All is A ok. BUT I am lactating. My breasts that Ive done nothing too started feeling itchy and upon slight pressure starting producing milk. What should I do? When will it stop? It doesnt leak on its own but I get pretty itchy and it bothers me.
