Horrible reaction to strapping

Hi ladies, just wondering if anyone else has had to endure the aftermath of strapping??? Not only has it left me black and blue but I’m now covered in a disgusting huge bumpy rash. The itchiness of it is nearly unbearable and it looks so angry and ugly I’m embarrassed to wear anything that might show it. It’s over my boobs, down my sides and seems to be gradually taking over my back 🙁 Totally pissing on my bonfire. It seems I’m a long, long way off enjoying my new additions 🙁 Advice?x

Simple spot wash stuff and sudocrem is slowly working for me. But yeah, i get you about the whole pissing on the bonfire thing, and mines only on and in between my boobs. SO you must feel super crappy. I still have more 4 weeks post op 🙁 But yeah if you get on the sudocrem and stuff earlier on i bet you’ll clear up soon! x

Thank you so, so much, Sian. With two pre-school daughters, Sudocrem I have! I’m desperate, if not just for the relief from the itching. And I’m supposed to be in a bikini in 3 weeks o_O
Really appreciate the reply. Hope yours clear up soon, too xx

i had the reaction too. had to have the strapping off early. sudocrem it totally the best to use. good luck hun. xx

Im three weeks post op and my skin has just recovered from the reaction I had to the strapping. I didn’t use any creams x

Thanks so much Kimbo and Nina. Your perspectives really help xx

Ladies! Had to come back and pass on my eternal gratitude; the Sudocrem seems to be having an effect. It definitely isn’t as horrifically itchy and uncomfortable, and I do think it’s looking a bit better, too. I don’t feel quite so miserable today:) Just put some arnica cream on my bruises, too ( I’m slowly keeping the local chemist in business) so hoping I can just be having a good look at my boobs soon- bruise and irritation-free:) Might actually let my husband have a look then, too! Ha!xx
