Post-op itching (BAHA site)
« on: August 21, 2010, 10:21:25 am »
I attended a Cochlear Coffee Talk a few months ago and the topic of BAHA sites itching during the healing process came up.

I was told that patients should use polysporin or Aquaphor for the best relief.

Since intense itching was something I experienced when my site was healing, I thought I should pass along this suggestion.

Hope it helps at least a few BAHA patients,

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways
