Catra- itching
I am experiencing lots of itching too. A couple of things that I pulled from my brain’s cobwebs that have helped decrease the itching- drink lots of fluids. Being dehydrated increases the itching. Also, temperature affects itching. Being hot or even warm can increase itching. I just gave up my electric blanket and the itching has eased. Lastly, it seems that my whole body went into itching overdrive. I can’t bathe or scratch the areas on my back but I did sponge off the rest of my body and applied moisturizer. That seemed to quiet the itching down a lot- including my back and incisional areas.
