All Cotton Support Bras ?????
I am now 7 weeks post-op! Boobies look great but I've been fighting irritation and itching! Met with my PS yesterday. As he suggested, I am now taking a low dose steroid pack for six days to help with the itching. Hopefully it will help -- so far so good. He also suggested switching to all cotton support bras (where the heck do you get these???), washing bras in Woolite, using ivory soap for showering and putting gauze in bra over irritated area. I'm allergic to "something" but not sure what -- and at this point it really doesn't matter. I just want the itching to stop and irritation to go away! He said I might have to be referred to a dermatologist but not yet -- great ????. So I went to Walmart last night and all I found were some all cotton nursing bras -- not the greatest but that's about all I could find. There was another brand that was all cotton but it had a seam across the cup and it was irritating. Went online and found a bunch but I hate ordering bras online. So today my Mom and so ventured out and did some more shopping. No luck -- grrrr. So I am about to go back online and just start ordering ............... Wish me luck finding a comfortable all cotton support bra!
Still itching ... Grrrrrrr
Will be 7 weeks post-op in two days and I still have itchy breast and most of the time they are so sensitive. I'm not using any scar medication on them yet because I had an allergic reaction to Maderma. Scared to try it again. At one point, I sporadically started itching all over (back, stomach, head, arms, legs at different times, thank goodness). Took Benadryl at night for a couple of days but am tired of being sedated. Benadryl cream works but I just wish the itching would STOP! Other than that I'm doing great.
Keeps getting better and better .....
5 weeks 4 days post-op----- I started off my morning by visiting co-workers (and of course showing off my new boobies). Everyone thought I lost weight. Nope! Just new boobies! What a confidence boost! Anyways, I felt so good that today I actually cleaned my whole house. So everyone out there that is struggling in week 1,2,3 or 4 post-op ... Hang in there! Things do heal and things do get better! Another minor set back: I think I'm allergic to the Maderma ????. Started using it Saturday and it burns and makes me itchy and red. Gonna call PS office tomorrow. I'm not using it!!!!!
