Beachbum 70 Posted July 15, 2012 Yes, itching is a sign of healing. The nerve endings are working again. Do you still have any steristrips or bandages on? That would Aldo cause itching. Don't scratch and try ice to numb. If the incisions are closed fully, try preparation h. I used it on mosquito bites. Numbs the itch and reduces swelling. Good luck!!
