Can I use a topical creme such as aspercreme to help with burning pain sensation 8 weeks after tummy tuck?

Hello,I recommend that you speak with your Plastic Surgeon and have an in-person assessment first if possible to rule out any other issues before applying medication topically.All the best

Thank you for your question, and I am sorry to hear about your burning pain sensations.  This burning typically results from nerve irritation as your skin is stretched during the tummy tuck to make your stomach flatter.  Before using any ointments or cremes, I would speak with your surgeon to ensure it is safe to do so, and that you have no risk of irritation or infection based on the state of your incision.  Aspercreme's active ingredient is lidocaine, which can temporarily numb your skin, and some patients have found that it helped them during their recovery period.
