Itching: First if it is the scars that are itching and they are raised you may benefit from steroid treatment. You should use silicone sheeting at this point and a moisturizer for the skin.

You could also: Try a non-sedating anti-histamine (claritin, etc.) to help with the symptoms.

Ask Surgeon.: Always best to run these types of questions by your plastic surgeon. He/she will know exactly what you are experiencing ( for example if you are experiencing an allergic reaction or not). He/she will also know of your allergies and what medications can be used safely. Remember that he/she is ultimately responsible for your care. Best wishes.

Depends: If it related to an allergic reaction, then the source must be removed. This may be the surgical tape, steristrips, antibiotic ointment or even one of the medications that you are taking.
