2 1/2 Weeks Post-Op Anchor Cut TT: ITCHING!!!

 Eek.  I'm all itchy and scratchy all up in here.  What's the best way to curb this?  I think I might have read using a cold compress but that worries me since I still have numbness.

Great - I'm all itchy and scratchy all over again just thinking about it.

Benedryl, I used it for about two weeks! 

When I had my surgery Benadryl liquid saved my life and my sanity.  Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Benedryl is one option...they have a liquid gel that works well.

Is the itch on top or under the skin?  It could be the nerves are healing.
You could try a product called Dermoplast........it's a spray and hospitals use it to numb an area and stops itching. BUT you should check with your surgeon first...he/she might not want you spraying on the incision, but then again they might say it is ok. 

Hope you find some relief soon.
TTFN

Thanks, all!

The itching is on top and it's driving me crazy. Gonna head over to the store and get Benadryl asap!

I'm glad to know that itching is normal! I'm 3 weeks out tomorrow from my tt and am super, super itchy too! Is Benedryl okay to take with pain meds?

Same here....same amount of time too....itchy! And....are you also very sensitive? I mean like when I get cold and nipples get hard....OMG, it hurts. I definitely lost NO sensitivity.

I'm one week post op and I also had problems with itching. I used Benadryl too.

The Benadryl has worked like a charm!!! Thanks, Everyone!

 I am having the exact same issue.  My tt was 2/17 and I am sooo itchy!  Took 2 benadryl tonight.  My stomach is very numb, and scratching doesn't help.  It itches way deep under the skin surface.  I hope that it passes quickly!
