Itching

Ive no advice to share but i feel for you, i started itching 4 weeks post lumpectomy and lymph node removal. Now 7 weeks still itching, not my wounds but my breast in general.

Hello, I’d get on the phone to your BCN, as there could be a number of causes, even including an allergic reaction to something used. 

hope it settles for you, nothing worse!

Hi Woody14 , just thought I’d ask how you’re doing today, and if you’d got in touch with your team?

Hi woody14, did you have the PICO dressings on. Because I also itch with this dressing. Just had it removed today so hopefully it will calm down now. 

Hi yes I called her. She said it’s a normal part of the healing process and hopefully will stop soon. Its driving me crazy lol  

Hi yeah I did have the pico dressings. Really good but such a pain carrying the battery packs around lol  

Antihistamine? Have you tried that, or has it been suggested? 

Hope it eases

Hi woody14 how you feeling today, my itching has calmed down but after they took the Pico dressing off I have a rash from it. I just keep moisturising it . The Pico dressing was great for holding my boob still now it's off it's a little more painful than before.
