Itchy Incisions
Ok - 4 weeks out & glue has come off of laparascopic incisions - they look great. No redness, anything. However, they are itching. I know this is a normal part of the healing process, but does anyone know of something "safe" to put on them? Cortisone or just some eucerin? Something?

Re: Itchy Incisions
The only thing my Dr. told me to put on them was Vitamin E.

Re: Itchy Incisions
Your doc can prescribe a fungial/steroid cream to help. It helped mine w/ one dose. I had a major reaction, blisters and itchy. Cream worked wonders. I would say any anitifungial would work though. Cortizone didn't really help mine. After I got the itching under control, I then put vit E on them, still scared, but I think it did help a bit.
