Itchy wounds

[turquoise]

Hiya,

When i cut myself from like a paper cut of from shaving, or from some scratch, when the wound starts to clot and heal after about a day or 2 the wound starts to ich a bit from time to time and then it stops. I was wondering why it does that and does anyone else experience the same feeling?

Thanks!

The itch is new skin growing - it is a common sensation, the hard part is resisting the urge to scratch, which simply opens the wound again.

Ah ok thanks, yeah it's hard to resist it sometimes, but i try not to scratch it cos that'll make things worse.

Many thanks!

Itching is healing and of course healing is good!

But it is the most irritating itch ever!!
