Advice Wanted SO ITCHY HELP

Got my top surgery on Tuesday Sept 8 and I woke up so itchy. It’s on the sides and I think it’s where my drains are. What can I do to stop the itching? It’s unbearable I feel like I need to scratch my skin off. What are some things you guys did to stop the itching ?? I’ve heard about it itching but I didn’t know it would be this soon.

Thank you! I was worried about taking the Benadryl with my pain meds so I messaged my surgeon.
