Hi Slinderella! I had the same problem. The doctor's office gave me hydrocortizone but that didn't do much for me. I did find Benedryl extra strength anti itch gel that worked WONDERS. Its for poison oak, sumac etc but I found it was fabulous for the itchy welts I had around my incisions. Check with your doctor first but you're probably just allergic to the glue or bandage adhesive. Its fairly common from what I've seen (though I'm no expert). Put the gel around the incisions but not directly on them. Good Luck!
