I'm one day post opp and after waking from a nap this afternoon I had a lot of pain and itching on my sides. It's from the post surgery bra tightening on my skin. Are there any ointments or lotions etc that can help with this? Thank you in advance!

Answer: Contact dermititis I think switching or washing your bra may help. It may also be caused by the adhesive tape or surgical soap from surgery. Talk to your surgeon.Happy Holidays,Nana Mizuguchi, MD

Answer: Itching? First I would remove the bra and take a look at that area that there is no rash. Then I would switch to a different bra. Have your surgeon also take a look at that area to see if this is more than just dry skin and irritation post surgery. In most cases it is dry skin. If that is the case then I would apply a simple water based moisturizer to that area. Hope this helps.
