      Isn't your donor site covered up with a tegaderm?

        Nope all that was on it was  steristrips well and of course the abdominal surgery dressing.. But he took that all of day 2 then it was just the steri strips and those already fell off…

        Oh, maybe you had a full thickness skin graft? Mine was a split thickness one so I had a tegaderm on it for a couple of weeks. I guess the itching is a good sign then (itching=healing)!
