Re: Re: itching under the bandages

[Guest guest]

Any antihistamine might help with itching. Since it is night, you might

take your pain killer if the itching is severe and will keep you from

sleeping. Do you have an after hours phone number your doctor gave you? If

so, I'd call and ask what she wants you to do as far as removal of the

bandage.

If I had to guess, I'd say it's the titanium dioxide

that may be causing an allergic reaction! . . .

Seems like I heard they are going to use titanium as a

catalyst in the gummy bear implants! . . . Anybody

else know?

Platinum and tin have had their turn . . . NOT GOOD!
