What can i do to relieve itching on surgical incisions?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Surgical Incision: You should consult your surgeon to discuss the options to relieve any surgical incision itching or irritation. Without knowing the location or type of surgery you had, it is difficult to recommend any treatment.

Can be normal: One of the normal chemicals released during the healing process is histamine. This can cause inflammation a and itching. Antihistamines and topical steroids may help decrease some of the itching but i would discuss with your surgeon first.
