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.
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
