I am three weeks postop x3 CABG and I’m currently experiencing exactly the same thing. No real explanation from my surgeon aside from “sensitive skin apply lotion”. It’s quite painful. Tylenol is no help. Are you still suffering with it? If not, how long did it take for it to ease? If you have since found a cause or source of relief please share. Thanks

I am post 2 years x3 CABG and was at dermatology yesterday for this exact symptom. While it is a minor symptom in my health journey, it is an aggravation. I was told to use Sarnoff, they could inject steroid into the scar or a cosmetic laser procedure costing $1000. The explanation was nerves. Yesterday I had injections in my SI joints, which required laying on my stomach. My chest was hurting later. Should have insisted on pillow to lay on.
