Could you be allergic to something your taking. I have had medication do the same thing you are describing.

please call your doctor right away. please. it sounds like you are having an allergic reaction (of the type that tend to be worse at night). it could get worse and even dangerous to where you have trouble breathing .
please, please see a doctor as soon as you can.

Re: Itchy skin feeling I got bugs inside me, help
My surgery was on the 18th and for the past few days, I have been extremely itchy right below my belly button (not at the lap incision, but about an inch below it) and on my neck and around my face.....has anyone else experienced that?

Re: Itchy skin feeling I got bugs inside me, help
I had my surgery on the 24th and started yesterday feeling itchy all over my body. I am not on any pain meds, so it can't be an allergic reaction. It is so uncomfortable. Is this a result of no estrogen? Any suggestions?

Re: Itchy skin feeling I got bugs inside me, help
For some women, "formication", the feeling of ants crawling on or under the skin (the term comes from formic, the Latin word for ant), can be a symptom of no/too little estrogen. However, itching can also be a generalized reaction to pain medications, anesthesia or any number of other things, so it's always best to let your DR know.

Re: Itchy skin feeling I got bugs inside me, help
I'm 4 months post-op. I have been having red itchy skin from head to toe for several days. I'm not taking pain meds and still have my ovaries. I went to the doctor and found out that I may have an autoimmune deficiency. I now have to have blood panels ran. They will check hormones on top of it. It is making me insane. I'm on one of the strongest prescription antihistamines on the market and it's doing nothing!

Re: Itchy skin feeling I got bugs inside me, help
Had 2 wk post op yesterday and dr. couldn't explain the itching and rash below belly button but said to use cortizone cream...still itchy!!!
Someone on another thread said something about possibly being a yeast infection on the skin....that would make sense!!!! Dr. gave her antibiotics....
I'm ready to claw the skin open on my tummy!!!! AAARRRGGGG

Yeast infections on the skin are also a possibility after surgery... but antibiotics are not effective against yeast infections. For those you need an antifungal.
