After my breast reduction I applied ice packs (frozen peas) because the gazillion stitches were itchy. I was reading at the time and got really, really into a raunchy book and lost track of time. Long story short: don't leave ice on for more than 20 minutes. My "pointy bits" turned black and I was afraid they'd fall off. I barely slept for a week, just worried about it.

Perhaps a tube of Afterbite would be useful. I've heard the a slice of raw potato helps; but I haven't verified it. I can verify that I have found absolutely nothing to help with menopausal itch. *scratches*
