Sooo itchy! Could I be allergic to my post-surgical bra?!

My breasts are itchy from the side boob, below the boob (near my incisions) and my back. All areas where my post-surgical bras hit.... I wasn't itchy my first week, but I was all taped up under the bra. This week (week 2) I was super itchy and today, 2 w 2 D post op I had to cover my side boob and back in cortisone cream. Is it normal to itch in those areas too?

Thanks for sharing your question with us. First of all be patient is really early to talk about results. You need to wait until the swelling and inflammation goes down. Take your pills for pain and maintain good communication with your surgeon. Kind regards
