Day 8 post op: Donor area itching

[Bosko17]

Gents -

 

Hope you're all doing well this evening.

 

Today is day 8 post-op (FUT, 2295 grafts) and I ran out of GraftCyte gel this morning. The itching in my donor area has gotten progressively worse throughout the day and I'm finding myself scratching along the sutures of my donor area.

 

Do you have any recommendations for products that may help ease this area? I've considered hydrocortisone gel with aloe and moisturizers, but I didn't want to make the jump into using it if it may cause problems.

 

Thanks for all your insight!

Hello. That's very normal. I itch even at 6 months post op.

Use vitamin e oil. It helps but won't make the itching go away.
