Lilly Black Yes I have and I did not want to take meds for it. Try this.....buy a couple of gel ice packs and a tube of neosporin for pain. The ice pack is soft, cool, and soothing. You can put it directly on the incision. The neosporin helps the itching and the ice pack helps to calm down all the nerve endings that cause itching and pain. I have used it regularly during my first year post surgery! I was alergic to mederma, and those type of creams specially made for scars. Good luck ✌️😊
