i had the sleeve surgery a week ago, and I am itching terribly under both my stomach and breast. Has anyone ever experienced this, and are their any suggestions?

My skin got dry after surgery, I slathered up really well with cocoa butter and it helped a lot. I also got some lotion with menthol in it (Gold Bond brand I think) and that helped.

Make sure you're drinking enough water!

It's a yeast infection, very much like atheletes foot or jock itch - and the same remedy works on it.  Apply cream as much as indicated, then tuck paper towel in the folds to absorb moisture.

I sometimes get yeast infections on my upper body under my folds (sorry, no attractive way to say that) anf it is very itchy and red. I use moist at cream on the area at night before bed and it clears up in a few days.
