Im two weeks post op (tummy tuck & back lipo combo). I get extremely itchy for moments always wear a cotton shirt under my garment but sometimes it gets so irritating I have to take some allergic medicine such as Benadryl. How can I make it better? Also, I’m wearing size M garment but the inferior part (opening to use the bathroom is) puts a lot of pressure on my puvic área making more swollen & uncomfortable, should go up in size? Or there’s something else I can use to ease that discomfort?
