<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.My mother had a upper lobectomy four months ago. She is recovering nicely. All of the sudden she has a lot of itching on her back...could that be related to upper lobectomy? She is on no new medications, hasnt changed any soaps or personal products or eaten anything different.  <response>: HiT hanks for posting on ChatDoctorLobectomy may cause itching on back if itching is around the incision site. Itching with scaring or wound healing is a normal process and may not be a cause for concern. I will advise you just observe the itching site for any rashes. If rashes appear, it may mean a skin condition to investigate. If no rashes, just stay put as just a normal process. Hope my answer will help you Best regards
