Re: Dressings help ? Please ?

I had some Harley Quinn diamonds on my hip. Its bruised like a mutha at the moment! Another tip from here - used a pantyliner to pad it out when I went for a run for cushioning!!

The tattoo I'm having extended is going down my ribs. I'm having it go down my thigh. It's difficult to bath with that there x

Oh i'd love to do that, but I think hubs would kill me...he still hasn't see this one, its been 4days! Hates the things! I'd definitely stick to showers for a couple of weeks with that one.

My husband isn't over keen either. But when you get tattoo broody, it has to be done. Xx

Not sure how you do it!! I planned to have 3 chinese characters tattooed my hip but only ended up with one!!!!!!!! I was 17 at the time and didn't realise how much of a wimp I am!

by anneritchley 27th January 2015, 5:35 pm

I found that I do a lot of hand tapping while having it done. It's more like a constant cat scratch xxx

Can I ask ladies how long are dressings left on for as I'm 6 days post op and go in Thursday to have my dressings looked at is that usually when they are taken off as mine are itching like mad x

by Emmybird2 10th February 2015, 7:56 pm

I wasn't expecting any dressings to be honest as when I had a hysterectomy there wasn't any and just assumed this would be the same x

by **Charlii** 10th February 2015, 8:05 pm

I had my big dressings on for a week, then another week with steri strips, changing them daily. But that's just me, every girl will have different instructions (yours might be similar though as you're seeing a THG nurse). Either way they'll be changed and you'll be told what you need to do.

by Emmapinder1983 10th February 2015, 8:07 pm

I had my dressings took off 1 week after ba, underneath was glued together. All surgeons are different though, ask when you go Thursday. How are you feeling? X x

by Emmybird2 10th February 2015, 8:15 pm

Thank you for asking hun, Today has been my best day I've actually come round a bit today but my boobs have started itching really bad lol ive actually been able to move about I think it was due to a fairly decent nights sleep I'd been staying at my bf and normally his bed is much comfier than mine but I just couldn't sleep last night I was in my own bed and didn't wake till morning :-)

by Emmapinder1983 10th February 2015, 8:26 pm

Glad you've had a good day hun, yes I remember the itching it was so annoying. Let us know how you get on Thursday x x

by Emmybird2 10th February 2015, 8:37 pm

I will do I can't wait to see them without the dressings I'm not sure if there has been a little bleed as my bruising is starting to show past the dressing and its quite dark. My nipple has got back to a pink colour rather than the dark red thank goodness x

by **Charlii** 10th February 2015, 9:12 pm

Pink nips are a good sign! As is the bruising coming out, means everything is healing nicely. If you're super itchy, try some icepacks over the tops of the breasts (stay away from the incisions) or try taking an antihistamine.

by Emmybird2 10th February 2015, 9:31 pm

Will try the antihistamine charlii as its driving me crazy on my right boob it's exactly where the strap goes across the top ive tried wearing a vest top then putting the strap on but it still itches till I take the strap off x

by **Charlii** 10th February 2015, 9:34 pm

Its where the skin is stretching and healing, rather than strap irritation. Hang in there, it'll pass!

I get a really itchy left boob, like so bad it wakes me up at night sometimes...but its always in the place where the skin is numb still so I cant even scratch it for relief nope

by Emmybird2 10th February 2015, 11:16 pm

I can't really tell if ive any numb patches yet. I know what that's like from other surgery ive had and it's an awful numb pain type feeling really odd when you get it x

Cut the toes off a old pair of socks and put them on the band. I wear mine so the socks are underarms & on front of chest
No itching :-) x

by drinkeroftea 11th February 2015, 6:41 am

Emmybird, i often wake up with random itching that comes up in HUGE raised red wwlts and scratches. It's very attractive! But i have found that the only thing that aoothes the itching is piriton in the bottle form. You can get it over the counter. May work for you.xx

I can shower in two days but I'm too scared!

by Emmapinder1983 11th February 2015, 7:44 am

Love your avi emmybird x x

by Emmybird2 11th February 2015, 3:09 pm

Will try the old socks :-) will I have to wear the band after tomorrow ? I got the impression from my pcc that after my first appointment I'd be in bras x
That's quick drinkeroftea ive not been allowed to yet I'm so looking forward to one tomorrow night hope they don't redress them at the appointment:-/ x

by Emmybird2 11th February 2015, 3:11 pm
