A member asked:
Why do scars itch months (like 6-7) after surgery? i had an exploratory lap to diagnose endo/remove my appendix and my scars still itch.

Varies: Most common reason is allergy to something applied to it. Allergy to tape adhesive. Allergy to bacitracin, neosporin, other antibiotics is common. Try hydrocortisone cream.
