https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Paging-BouvierLady/m-p/137147#M57348 <P>Hi BouvierLady....</P> <P>I just saw your post asking me about the cream I'm using for my itchy, sore incision. It's called "Lotrisone" (that's the brand name, but there is a generic) and yes, it is a prescription. I tried using an over-the-counter hydrocortizone cream (per the doctor's advice), but it did nothing--so I decided to use the "big guns"--Lotrisone has a steriod in it, as well as an anti-fungal. It's been recommended to my husband when he had a rash from poison ivy--my gyno told me to use it when I had a bad yeast infection--to take the swelling down.</P> <P>I used the Lotrisone for five days--twice a day--and kept a surgical (gauze) dressing over the incision. FINALLY--the itchiness stopped--the soreness went away--and no more bumpy rash on the end of the incision! I stopped using it two days ago and I also stopped covering the incision--and it feels fine (and looks good, too).</P> <P>I see my surgeon this Monday---hopefully all is OK and I won't have to see him until March (every 3 months for the first year after uterine cancer surgery). Oh joy.</P> <P>Hope you see this post and that you are able to get the cream through your doctor--it is terrific stuff!!</P> <P>God Bless and I hope you feel better soon!</P> <P> </P> Fri, 09 Dec 2011 19:04:24 GMT Gracies Mom 2011-12-09T19:04:24Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Paging-BouvierLady/m-p/137147#M57348 <P>Hi BouvierLady....</P> <P>I just saw your post asking me about the cream I'm using for my itchy, sore incision.
