Had BMX June 15 with immediate reconstruct (silicone implants) Hoping for minimal surgeries so far so good πŸ™. My Stiches itch like crazy. I have been told that is a good thing because they are healing. Any advice to help deal with it? thanks

EV Coconut oil at night to soften and provide elasticity ( happens to be Antimicrobial, too) . Perhaps try a spray or cream with Lidacain ( or similar) during the day, as in Dermaplast, Solarcaine, or even Orajel. Run it by your surgeon's nurse before starting any new cream to the surgical site.

Benadryl worked well for me. They make a new non-drowsy one now.

I had my BMX on June 29th. As the stiches heal they are itchy. I have the tissue expanders in which seem to be a constant burning pain. I won't get the silicone implants until I am stretched enough.

@A MyBCTeam Member they do feel heavier I agree. I do not have a lot of feeling by the scar but I was told it should come back. Sending you pink warrior hugs!
