Help......I itch soooo bad!!!

I know it's a sign of healing but this is way worse than any pain!  How do you get relief???

Can you take Benedryl?

My daughter is having a panni this Thursday and one of the prescriptions she had filled today was for itching.  If the Benedryl doesn't work, maybe give the doc a call.

I hope you get relief soon.

Thank you.  I never thought about that.  I'm going to give it a try.

what did you have done? and i am itching pretty bad the last couple days too.....especially around the bottom of my boobs.

I had an arm lift and breast lift.  It is the bottom of my boobs that is the absolute worst.  However the arms can be annoying as well.  I'll try the benadryl.

Are you taking an antibiotic? Sometimes you can have an allergic reaction to them and it causes itching. I've never experienced any itching after any of my procedures. I would check with your surgeon.

I think mine is just the stitches itching the crap out of me.

I am on an antibiotic, however, I think this isn't a reaction.  The only itching is at the stiches.  I'm going to call my dr today just to double check.

Benedryl capsules or gel.

If you don't want to go the benedryl route...........This will sound weird but depending on where the itch is you can put some plain yogurt on it.  It sooths sunburn (any burn), itching.

Hope you have found some relief.
