Topical solutions for itching stitches - 10 days post-op.

Question

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?

Dear Stargirl, 
the feeling will go away with time. However I recommend arnica cream or Aloe gel (even better).

Thank you for your question.
Every plastic surgery office has their own set of pre and post operative instructions that they recommend their patients follow. It is most important to follow the instructions of your surgeon.
