I'm all out of dermaplast. My stitches are actually in my vag, so not exactly a scratchable place. It's killer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-stitches#post-603203 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 20:47:14 +0000 rawrasaur 603203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. Luckily, it didn't last too long and I kept using the dermaplast when it was unbearable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-stitches#post-603138 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 20:39:48 +0000 pl0508 603138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I was itchy and dry down there in general. I used the dermaplast spray it helps moisturize! It gets Better though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-stitches#post-602982 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 20:18:27 +0000 sorrycharlie 602982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes mine definitely were! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-stitches#post-602936 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 20:12:14 +0000 Mrs. Chalk 602936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How far pp are you? I think my stitches dissolved after about two weeks or so, but there were definitely a few days where they felt a little itchy before that. </p> <p>Sitz baths are also really good for general cooling/comfort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-stitches#post-602913 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 20:09:42 +0000 matador84 602913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Put some hydrocortisone on a pad and it'll stop the itch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/itchy-stitches#post-602724 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 19:39:31 +0000 photojane 602724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you had stitches after the birth of your LO, was the area itchy during the healing phase? I'm not really experiencing any pain down there anymore, but it seems like now that there's no swelling it's super itchy. I'm not sure if the stitches are still there or if they've dissolved. How long does that take? All I know is that it's just so itchy where my stitches are/were. I feel awkward in public or around my ILs because I need to scratch but can't! Is this normal? If so, how long we're your stitches itchy? </p>
