I am guessing here but possibly some nerves damaged during the incisions to position the pace maker. If that is so I'm not sure that Eurax cream will help but it is a possible.

No idea why you have itch but take Benadryl .....the normal one...not 24 hour one....it really works as do ice packs...I have it on and off due to neck injury......
