Something no one mentions-scalp itching post op.

[JLR]

Oh yes my head often itches like crazy. Have gone thru a ton of different shampoos. I too think it's the nerves causing the itch. The incision often aches and itches. Another miserable part of this post op journey. Stay well all. Joan

JLR et al,

I'm not sure if it it will help itchy scalp, but I had cortezone injected into my scar and haven't had nearly the itching sensation that I previously had.

The cortezone shots had 2 effects, reduced scar swelling and took away that feeling of needing to itch all the time.

I had this done by a general dermatologist, I think I paid around $100 which was well worth it!

I get the itching too. I use a cream called Cicalfate and that helps.
