Areas where drain tubes are inserted are itchy. I'm 3 days post op. Is it an infection? (Photo)

Thanks for your photo and question.  From the photo, your incisions and drain sites look fine.  Sometimes the prep used or the adhesive in the dressings can cause itching. obviously, the best person to answer your question is your surgeon.  Best Regards.

From your photographs there doesn't appear to be any sign of infection but the only way to tell is with an in person consultation.  Itching is common and is often related to nerve healing or the tapes used during surgery.  Check with your surgeon.

Thank you for posting your photo and questions. Itching can be common and may be related to nerves, healing or allergy/ sensitivity to dressings with adhesives. I suggest that you follow-up with your operating surgeon and schedule an in person follow-up to err on the side of safety and rule out infection. Best of luck with your continued recovery,
