Dry, itchy scars?

Hey girls, I’m 4 months PO from uplift and implants but over the past couple of weeks my scars and skin around them have gone really itchy and dry . . . Anyone know why this is and what I can do about it? I’m scared as I’ve been trying to take care of my scars so they fade better that this will make them worse? X

Hey it’s proble just ur body healing. Try bio oil on them if u havnt already x

I’ve been using bio oil since 8 weeks po so I don’t understand why they are so dry? Thanks for your suggestion though sweet x

Try using something other than bio oil for a while.. not sure what though sorry, oh maybe vaseline 4 a bit and see how u go.. I’m just 19 days post opp and just started using bio oil for massaging. Hope u find something to stop it.. it can’t be pleasant. X

They are all fine now, from time to time they go a little dry again but I think it’s all part of the healing process as when they are okay again the scars look even better! So shouldn’t complain really! Xx

I’d say as you are an uplift patient it’s more healing so possibly could be sensations coming back to norm it can take several days, weeks to even more then a year..
In general moisturising is very important especially after showers and baths deep creams with vitamins E are good for dry skin

Sudocrem I was told for the dryness around scars by the nurse x
