Guest guest Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 > My incisions are soooo very itchy! Also, if it is just the healing incision, you might be able to get away with a little hydrocortisone cream. I have done that periodically. You can ask Dr.K's office if that is okay, I never asked, lol. Marta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 I'm not sure..the steri strips are definately a big part of the problem but they are just regular white looking things. I haven't taken them all off cause I'm afraid the scar will open up. C ===================================================================== > > > , do you have benzoine/steri strips on them?
