Why do wounds itch whilst they healing?


'whilst they ARE healing' sorry...

the healing process when the skin starts to rejoin causes that area to tingle thus giving rise to the itchy sensation

Cause the new tender skin below the scab is trying to stretch and breath so to say.

And the only way the body has any way to let you know all is not well is to itch like mad.

it just gets dry , put some baby cream on ,should help , dont scratch will cause infection ,if its real bad go to your doctor

the good bacteria are battling the bad bacteria.
the itching is from explosions.
artillery fire, tanks, bombs...
and aerial bombardment
