What Does Itching Between The Shoulders After A Facelift Surgery Indicate?

I had a face lift eight weeks ago and took arnica for two weeks prior to surgery at the request of my surgeon. Since the surgery I have developed sporadic burning and itching between my shoulder blades. Neither my plastic surgeon nor the anesthesiologist has an explanation. I m am 74 and am in good health otherwise. Any ideas ?

Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I dont think that there is a relation between your symptoms and the facelift surgery .
I suggest you to take antihistamines to relief the itching and use calmine lotion for local relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
