I had a skin graft procedure done on 3/1 on my outer right thigh.  I know it takes months to heal and I expect some burning senstion on the site.  But it is also very very itchy.  Ive been applying Aquaphor on it daily/nightly to keep it from cracking but there is no itch relief. I called my doctors office and the PA said I was the first of all patients to call with this symptom.  She advised Eucerin with an anti-itch cream in it.  This doesnt work either.  The site is very red and has a raised bumpyness to it.  If this is an allergic reaction, what could I possibly be allergic to?  I know its not the petroleum jelly.     AAAAA
Hi, Thanks for writing to us. You seem to have developed contact dermatitis at site of grafting. This could have occurred due to use of any ointment or antiseptic solution like detail, Betadine or spirit application. To treat the area apply a steroid cream twice in a day and take tablet cetirizine. Avoid application of any product/ ointment/ cleaning agent over the site. Hope that keepsake care
