A member asked:
What to do if i had surgery to remove an ovary/cyst last week and the incision sites itch really bad! is there anything i can do to stop the itching?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ice probably best: That doesn't sound too unusual. Local ice pack would probably help. Perhaps an anti itch medicine, (Benadryl, zyrtec, (cetirizine)) might help. Heat, (hot shower) will probably make it worse.
