If there's no scab, you can massage some unscented lotion into it. That should help with scar reduction, too. It's most likely itching because it's dry.

I used hydrocortizone cream all around the incision but not actually on it. It worked really well. I had a raised red rash that itched like crazy from the glue.

Thanks for the advice. Someone told me to try Vitiamin E stick as well....I'll give these a try & see what works best for me! Thanks again

Re: Incision Scar itching....Best Cream?

My husband picked up a bottle of Vitamin E oil, which as soon as the tape covering the incisions came off, I began carefully dabbing on with a smooth "cotton ball" round (not a regular cotton ball, since the strings can come off so easily of those things).

I made sure to dab ever incision, twice a day, and they never itched me.

Now if only I could figure out some way to make them just you know, disappear from sight.
