My scalp has been itching for 2 years post endoscopic surgery . Some days it is worse than others. My dermotologist did not find any scalp problems. My meds are atenonol, crestor, pristique, and trazodone. My plastic surgeon has been telling me to take benydral for all this time. Also I had my doc remove the plastic dissolving screws 8 months ago, as I thought they were contributing to the severe itching. Should I be concerned?
Answer: Itchy Forehead Sensation After Endobrow
The sense of itchiness you are describing 2 years after an endoscopic browlift is described as a dysesthesia. Numbness after an endoscopic forehead lift is totally normal; as the nerves recover, a series of itchy or shooting sensations herald sensory nerve recovery. However, sometimes the nerves retain these odd sensations. At two years, there is still some hope for recovery.m At the same time, exploring options such as desensitization and/or seeing a Neurologist is reasonable.

Answer: Itching after Endoscopic Browlifting is Treatable
Given that your itching persists 2 years after surgery, it may be time to consider intervention. I have found neurontin (gabapentin) to be useful for this type of nerve irritation.

Answer: Itchy forehead 2 years after browplasty
The itchiness is likely due to subtle dysfunction of the nerves that supply the forehead secondary to stretching during the procedure. Even though it is two years there is still a good possibility this will go away with time. I do not think that benadryl will be of much help but the injections into the nerves will give at least temporary relief. Also, stabilizers of nerve impulses like anti seizure medications and / or elavil (intially an anti depressant but found helpful in some neuropathies) can be useful. These medications will need to come from a physician and sometimes require blood tests to monitor. Just some ideas to think about.
