Asked By:Stargirl1234 in Troy, MI

I had a BR 10 days ago. Healing seems to be well except underneath my breasts and around my nipples the stitches are itching. I still have stitches so im concerned about what i can put on/around them. My nipples are also extremely sensitive as well as itchy. What can i use?
