I am 3 weeks out from surgery and my scar is extremely itchy. Has anyone else had this problem? What is the best way to fix this? I've been keeping the area moisturized, but wondering if there are other tips.

Have you tried ice or cold presses?

I struggle with dry skin! I agree with above comments. Moisturizer is key! I always keep a small travel size bottle of lotion on me. Mederma would probably be a good option as well.

I'm finding that constant moisture is critical. There are also some silicon adhesive patches that have been really helpful for me. Feel better!
