It's difficult to suggest a specific treatment without an exam or more information.  There are some medications that can be prescribed to help address the symptoms.  I encourage you to return to your surgeon for an evaluation.

Too much has happened since your tummy tuck to consider this as a cause of itchy skin. I agree with the previous answer to check with the skin specialist. Good luck. Dr. Aldo
