Help! Does anyone have any remedies for transplant scar itching? My scar is sometimes painful and always very itchy. The area that bothers me is the point where the rib cage separates at the top (right at the point where an undergarment can rub on the end or the scar) I was transplanted 10/122/10. Also wondering if itching will ever lessen. Please help if you know anything that would help. |

Eucerin, a one-time prescription medication that is now over the counter, helped in the first year after my transplant. I still use it now and then to keep the itching in check. The itching never goes away; you just kind of learn to get used to it.

Mine doesn't itch anymore, probably did for the first six months.
