MAKE IT STOP!
I feel for you I just went through this , losing sleep for the past 4 nights.I expected to get the ITCHIES, but not to the point of anxiety at bed time. Try taking 2 Benadryl (be prepared to get drowsy) and buy a Cortizone cream. If worse comes to worse, as it did for me, Dr. can give you a script for HYDROXYZINE HCL 25mg. tablets. Becareful with how much tape touches your skin when changing your dressings, some people are allergic to it. Also, becareful, can be due to pain medications (narcotics).
Dr. felt that it could be due to antibiotic, and or the tubing from the drains. Yesterday he removed 2 more (I had 5 drains, now I have 1 left) of my drains and gave me a script like I mentioned before the HYDROXYZINE. I slept peacefully last night for 8 hours!
Don't wait, give your dr. a call,

The good news is that you're healing!!!! You might want to check with the surgeon's office on their recommendations. He has me putting vaseline on my suture line. Keeping it moist with the vaseline I believe will help with the dryness. I've had a lot of surgeries and never put anything on my suture line. I've also never had so many sutures all at once! I did in the past when I had my thyroid out use a good moisturizer around my suture line and that helped the itching. Jodi
