Help with itch after surgery!!!

I need help!  Has anyone had Itch around the surgery area?  What can I do?  It is so unbearable!!! 
Thanks and God bless you!!!

It's probably just the normal healing process. Does the incision look red or puffy? Either way, call your doc and ask for something to help.
Good luck!

Thank you so much!!!

It's probably just a healing itch. If it isn't open, I used Benedryl spray on mine to stop the itching.

Thanks so much to you both!!!  So I can do this even if my surgery was only a week ago?

I have had horrible itching with all of my surgeries. It is the one thing I am not looking forward to.

Once my open incision was completely closed, I used Aveeno brand "cooling" lotion. Has menthol in it & takes away the itch.

Are you still taking any pain medications? I know for one that I think I am allergic to or highly sensitive to Loritab as it makes my whole body itch. Just one suggestion. That's the first thing that came to my mind.
