Itchy incisions
My incisions are very itchy is this part of the healing process. How long does the tape stay on?

Yes it is - I use my abdominal binder with the ice packs and it goes away completely.

Mine are real itchy too, and too sore to scratch. Two of my 4 scabs came off tonight on the 2 itchiest ones.

Re: Itchy incisions
You could be allergic to the tape. I was. I started to get little water blisters and they itched like mad. So be on the look out for an allergic reaction.

Re: Itchy incisions
My doctor said anti-hystamines would work for the itching too.
