Hey girls
So I had my strapping off yesterday and today got my mum to clean off all the stickyness from my back as it was so itchy. I haven’t yet washed my boobs and to be honest I’m really scared to, they feel so heavy without the macom and still numb to touch, I’m a really squeamish person so it makes me cringe to the max. Thing is my boobs are so so sooo itchy today and I can’t bare it!
Has anyone else had itchy boobs and is there anything that can help?
Thanks xxxx
hiya sweet, mine are slightly tender still and they felt a bit itchy yesterday, i think it is the nerves and everything getting used to the implant, i just tried to not think about the itchiness because i’m a bit squirmish too haha, hope the itchiness goes away soon xx
Oh yh didn’t think about that, I think also cos my skin hasn’t been able to breath and I don’t like having my bra off xxx
Hi Hun, I didn’t have strapping but I wear the breast band and my god it’s itchy and my boobs feel such relief when I take it off to shower but all through the shower I’m itching like mad! I try to ignore it but it’s annoying. I’m 19days post op xxx
Oh no how long do you have to wear the breast band for? Just having my macom on is so itchy too but I just can’t itch them haha! I thinks my skin needs time to breath xxx
hi have you tried taking some piriton .. it was only my shoppin list of things to get as advised for the itching, but i didnt get itching .. i was sqemish to about the touching , but apparently showering helps u to get over this as u get used to them. Ive also been applying oil to keep them soft, after the shower.. or without the shower .. this will help the itching too, you can just unstrap the macom to put on instead of taking off completely if feels more comfy for you – oh actually my back has been very itchy and i notice flakey skin in the macom, ive made a point of washing the bra and chaging it daily so now not so bad,,, x
Hey Sabrina, I haven’t trie piriton thanks for the tip I’ll definitely have to get some tomorrow can’t bare this itching!
Iv got bio oil ill have to get used to touching them cos I need to put some on, Iv also got flakey skin on my nipples xxx
yeah i have noticed some flakey skin on my body near my boobs, which is slightly itchy, i wash my bras daily so swap them everyday after my shower so there isn’t too much flakey skin but only a little, it must be that your skin there needs some air xx
I think ill start doing the same, iv only got macoms though. I want to buy another bra but no idea what one to get. I’m gonna shower today so they’ll get some time to breath, as long as i can bring my squeamish self to wash them lol! xxx
I just wear the high impact sports bras from m&s, and in the shower i just let the water run on them haha xx
I’m thinking about getting one of the M&S bras but can you see the zip through clothes? As I don’t want it sticking out at work but have heard really good reviews about them xxx
mine you can’t because my uniform is quite baggy but it’s not very noticeable when i’m in my normal clothes xx
I’ve had serrrrriously itchy before boobs from day one! Piriton definitely helps xx
