I have an itchy back. :(
Since the day after surgery, my back has itched, and it's driving me crazy! It's right in the middle of my spine, about halfway down my back, and I can't reach it too well. I asked my sister (a nursing student) about it, and she said it looks dry and flaky...basically like a little contact dermatitis, and it's nothing to worry about. She put some Benadryl cream on it, and that made it feel awesome, but I live alone and can't reach it every day to put this cream on it. Did anyone else have any problems like this? I thought at first it was because I wasn't drinking enough and so my skin was drying out, but I'm getting in more than enough water now and it's still here. HELP!!
