2 weeks post op and constant itch/burning sensation

December 24, 2016
Asked By:Kyleeb80 in Tulsa, OK

I recently went back for my 1 week follow up and mentioned that I was itchy and thought maybe the surgical bra was rubbing me raw. My nurse said it looked like my skin was a dry so I should be hydrating it more. I have been using aquaphor and aveeno to help, although my skin doesn't look dry it feels raw despite the clothing touching it or the amount of lotion I apply. I have checked to see if there are any rashes or red areas and there are not and my incisions look great. How can I help this?
