Hi all I’m two weeks post surgery- lumpectomy and breast reduction both sides. Started with the most horrendous itching yesterday and oh my god I’m having to sit on my hands to stop myself scratching. Anyone gone thru this could give me some advice please xx

  • 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!
