Is it normal to have a strong ongoing itching sensation two years after a tummy tuck?

January 12, 2020
Asked By:Sandy Losi in Calabasas, CA

I had a tummy tuck two years ago and recently I’ve had uncontrollable itch but It’s enteral itch. I can’t feel me scratching because since my surgery I’ve lost sensation. I just feel like I have ants in my stomach and can’t stop!
