Usually itchiness and tightness is a sign that a wound is healing. But can sometimes be a sign of infection. I would speak to your doctor really 1 week PP the wound is still very fresh and you’ve just had major surgery and if you’re really bothered by it you need medical advice.
are you cleaning it daily and keeping it dry?
@Sarah yes I actually have a vacuum to help keep it dry. It's a bandage over the original one and it keeps it dry. Every once in a while it will go off.
