Itchy nipples

[rick57]

I'm two weeks post-op and my nipples ate extremely itchy, has anybody else had to deal with this? If so how did you handle this and how long does it last? This is driving me nuts!

yeah, I was very itchy as well.  Just gotta deal with it.  I subsequently a recommendation to put a tshirt on under your compression vest.  I never tried it, though.  Try some hydrocortisone, that helps the itching.

I actually did buy some Cortisone 10 I think is what it's called and that worked for about 12 hours, I think I'll use it morning and night.
