Suggest Remedy For Itching After Liposuction

Hello i just had lipo of the abdomen and hips, i am 24, and as far as i can tell everything went great. I also had a breast reduction one year ago. I am experiencing a chronic itching sensation under the skin which i take to be a sign of healing but it is very distracting, verging on unbearable. Are there any quick remedy that can reduce the symptoms? I have been using ice and airing the area out but i want to keep the binder on as consistently as possible. I am thinking of using vitamin E, coconut oil, olive oil, etc.

Use coconut oil for massage and take a anti allergic tablet if the itching is too troublesome. you can also soothe the skin by applying calamine lotion.
