The worst part about PS....

LOL maybe add some big red spots on my face with makeup ahahahah...evil! Thanks, I hope the itch goes away, it gets bad enough to wake me up at night sometimes LOL

Woohoo! I found someone else who feels my pain...and here I thought I was the only one! Ditto on the allergy to surgical tape....that stuff sucks something awful doesn't it?! But just think the after all is said and done you will have some nice ta-ta's to show off! Lol   Good luck and I hope you get to feeling better Hugs, Mia

Hey Mia! Nope, you're sure not alone. The itch bothers me more than any other part of surgery. Drives me nuts! LOL. As for showing off the girls, I don't know hahaha. Already had one of the DH's friends pop by and he started to talk about the wife in *Summer Rental*...LOL ummm nope, I'm not offering them up for inspection hahaha Thanks! We need to find a better way of taping things up! Hugsssss

Lmao! Your hubby better watch out!  Yep, ditto on the tape! Hugs, Mia

When I had mine I too had a reaction to the steristrips and the tape. For the iich try the  Gold Bond lotion with Shea Butter.  I used that and it really helped with that itch. Hang in there and I hope this helps

I'm willing to try anything. I have been using different anti-itch creams and lotions, but they don't work long. Basically, as soon as they dry, I'm itchy again LOL. Thanks for the suggestions!

If you're not allergic to lidocaine I discovered this week that its GREAT for itchies. I had a nasty allergic reaction to something and its the only thing that helped me. It's in a bunch of different OTC creams (usually for burns). Prolly won't want it ON your incisions but on the tape spots and outside areas I'm sure it would help.

Ooh I think I may have a tube of that too. I'll give it a whirl. Nope, nothing on the incisions themselves, just on the rash and hives around them. It feels like little buggies crawling all over me LOL...ugh! Thanks for the suggestion. I bet by the end of the week, I've had all kinds of ointments and creams and lotions on me to try!

I know how ya feel, the cortisone and other 'anti itch' creams did nothin for me but the cheapo free "burn jel" (With lidocaine) from my office medicine cabinet worked like a charm.

LOL funny, it usually is the cheapo stuff that's best. If it weren't for this being due to surgery, I'd soak in a tub with baking soda....but can't do that yet!
