    The surgeon found 5 more spots of what he says is skin cancer and wants to take them all off at the same time, so I was rescheduled for April 26, 1:00 pm. 2 spots on each leg, and one spot on each arm. Thanks for your concern.

    How are you healing up? Are you healed yet? Scabs all gone?

    Scabs are almost all gone. Still have the feeling of tightness and there's some itching.

    Trying to not go crazy with the non-feeling in the area. It's a pretty big area.

    Thanks!

    I know the non-feeling part is maddening. Is the itching part of the healing or is it itching within the non-feeling area, or both? Maybe with time you will get to where you can ignore it, or when its completely healed it'll stop itching.

    It itches around it as well as in the non-feeling area. Don't know why I would feel something in the area that apparently doesn't have any nerve endings anymore?

    I've got an area on my abdomen that itches sometimes, the area is a no feeling zone left over from my C-sections. It is maddening because since it is numb, I can never satisfy it by scratching. In fact, it would still itch if I dug a hole all the way through the skin. It doesn't bother me so much now, because I'm used to it, but to begin with it nearly drove me mad. You will always have to be extra careful and mindful not to damage the area that is numb because no amount of scratching will stop it, though it could damage the skin. Use something soft, like a dry wash cloth to gently rub around the area being especially careful not to put any tension on your skin surrounding the graft.

    I was given some samples of a lotion to put on the area where the skin graft is. Seems to help.

    Thank you for your admonitions, though! I'm heeding them!
