I had an abdominoplasty in 2018. I have no sensation in the area closest to my navel and still get an awful unscratchable itch inside my belly button. It occurs less often now, but it's awful. I've taken to using my dog's shock training collar to "scratch" that area. It happens when I've consumed certain food coloring.. Which makes no sense. Can an allergy trigger neuropathy? Also, I know a few patients of this doc who also have no sensation. Can it be technique?
