Ears itching after otoplasty. Should I contact my surgeon?

Asked By:Anthony1696 in Elmhurst, IL

It's been about 3 days since my surgery and just today my ears began to itch like crazy, I've only scratched the bottom part (barley) cause I was afraid of any damage I might cause it. Is this normal or could it be an allergic reaction I am having to the antibiotics or the inflammatory caps. Should I contact my surgeon?
