How should I care for behind ear incisions after face and neck lift? They feel itchy and irritated.

Question from Florida, NY
Just a little over two weeks post opt, very itchy and irritated feeling? Using perioxide and antibiotic ointment 2 times a day.

Dr. Dean Kane, board certified Plastic Surgeon from Baltimore Answers
2 weeks after a facelift incision, the dynamic changes of healing call for inflammation. This maybe the reason for the itchiness and irritation. It could also be a developing infection. Please see your surgeon to evaluate and make his recommendations.
I hope this was helpful! All the best!
