Why is my breast so itchy after double mastectomy?

Itching after mastectomy surgery can be a common experience that many people go through during the healing process. This sensation often happens as nerves regenerate and scar tissue forms, though it's always best to mention any new or persistent symptoms to your medical team to make sure everything is healing properly.

This is me! I call it the phantom itch that I can never get. I just rub by breast and it feels like I it stops for a little while.
