Itched like mad...........YES....I have always had dry skin, so I lather up in cream all the time. After sugery, the worst 2 places were on either side of my incision (breastbone to bellybutton) and about 2-3 inch strips and my elbows were so dry they were cracking open - and I even picked up an infection on the elbow (was at the hospital visiting the mother in law and the doc thinks I was exposed to something due to my open elbows). he put me on steroids for 10 days and it cleared things up. My legs can get dry too, so cream, cream, cream. I have a $1 BACK scratcher that I use on my back when the hubby is at work and the daughter is in bed. It does seem to be getting better in the past few weeks, but at 6 weeks it was the worst.
