Itching Hell!!!!!! Helppppppppp

I am 3WPO tomorrow and I am in the most discomfort since having the op !!!!
The itching is hell on earth!!!!!! I had the worse sleep last night and I’m dreading having another restless night tonight.
I’m constantly itching and feel like I want to rip my boobs off my chest. Its not even where the incisions are as I know that would be a sign of healing but its the top and side of the boobs.

Because I had an uplift I’ve been told not to wash that area, the most I can do is get a damp flannel and wipe the area and not going anywhere near the anchor type incisions.

I wasn’t sure if I was allergic to the plaster or if its super normal to feel like your itching yourself to near death. I am literally making my skin red raw. 🙁 this feels by far worse than any of my eczema itch breakouts.
I’ve tried Ice packs and they don’t work.
I have read a few post where a few ladies have felt the same, if so what did you do to help it and how long did it last for?

Hi Hun this was the worse part for me the itching it was due to the skin been soo stretched and my skin was peeling loads I ended up exfoliating lightly on my boobs then coving them in coconut oil avoiding my scars didn’t tell the nursevtho as she said nothing on them for 6 weeks but I couldn’t off coped that long xxxxxx

@staceymlx ahhh Thanks for that hun, I’m going to try that buttttt because of the uplift scars Its going to be tricky. x

Try piraton, I’m sure I ready someone took it to help with itching, but wouldn’t hurt to try xx

@littlec87 Thank hun I did take a antihistamine but will have a look for stronger ones x

You might be able to get an anti itch cream or lotion from the chemist as well/ cooling pads, try patting/gently rubbing the area rather scratching as scratching can make it itch more making u scratch then ur in a vicious circle xx

Yeah Hun just be carful when u apply your cream Hun as long as you don’t get it on scars you should be ok Hun xxx
