Question

How do you keep your incisions from itching I've cleaned them very gently with the soap the hospital gave me but they still itch and one of them is bleeding from where the staple pierces the skin

My understanding has always been that "things itch when they heal."  So I just did my best to ignore it  

 My incisions are itchy, too. I just try to keep my mind occupied. I don't have staples. Maybe you could give you doc. or his nurse a call to see if you can use something.

ask you surgeon , but ice might help , do not put any kind of medicine  on it without your surgeons ok

itching means it is healing unless it is red and hot

i don't think a tiny amount of blood from the staples is a problem but it is safest to call your surgeon thee is someone on call 24/7 ,if it is a lot of blood call your surgeon  or go to urgent care or ER  

I had an allergic reaction to the solution they washed me with (it wasn't betadyne it was something else) and when the glue went over the solution all of my incisions had a red ring around them and I broke out in raised red hives all across my belly.  None of my incisions were opening and I had to work with my surgeon to find what I could use as he was against steroids as we are still healing in the first 4 weeks.  He gave me over the counter Benadryl and Benadryl cream.  However, I would definitely consult your surgeon before putting anything near your incisions.

Good luck I feel your pain.  The itching IS part of the healing but when it gets out of control....call your doc for sure! 

Best wishes!!
