That is good the rash stopped on Kitty's chest. Likely the Aldera irritated it leading to the rash. Now as for the incision itching, I tend to think the skin may be "knitting" or healing. A sense of itchiness often occurs following any surgery on or around the incision as the skin heals or "knits' back together.
The other thing I can think of is some bacteria or fungus around the area causing itchiness. My cat had this too and the Dermatologist recommended I apply a solution of 1 part white vinegar to 2 parts water; apply around the incision once or twice a day if she will let you. Don't apply directly on the incision as it will burn, but just the irritated area around the incision. Give that a few days and see if that helps. If not, I would consult the vet for maybe a topical cream safe for cats.
