OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! yes!! its DEF the worst part of sh!!

if the wound has scabbed over then i find aloe vera gel helps as it cools and sooths xx

You've hit it there - I HATE that soooo so much!!!!!!

I try and resist but i usually end up scrating it anyway - so long as the cut isn't to bad.
I don't really now how to avoid it, mabye bandage it uptight, or put cold cream/water around/on it and then bandage it.

Should help

:D:D

Good luck!!

I hate this too but I have found sudacrem is good because it stops the itch and also helps wounds heal quicker!

Yes! I absolutley hate it - so annoying. xo.

KittenEyes · 27-03-2009, 08:36 AM

I hate it! And I never think about it when I cut, so it always pisses me off when it starts healing and being itchy.. And then it HURTS after a while. THAT'S the worst! The shooting pains. UGH.

nosynonym · 27-03-2009, 10:07 AM

I've found that mine itch weeks after they have healed and are pretty much scarred over, when they are scabbing they dont really itch at all

Damnation. · 28-03-2009, 12:26 AM

DEAR GOD YES.

It does. My. ****ing. Head in! D:

Silverbirch · 28-03-2009, 12:48 AM

One word: yes.

xlaurenx · 28-03-2009, 09:40 PM

I agree i HATE them! if i do have a scab on the cut and its itching i try not to itch it as i no it will only scar but if either way scab or no scab i try just to itch somewere around the area.

eyes.wide.open · 28-03-2009, 10:04 PM

i ALWAYS scratch. its such a bad habit :(

Noxie · 28-03-2009, 10:52 PM

yeah, I hate the feeling...
I always end up scratching and opening them again

Septicity · 28-03-2009, 11:03 PM

Yeah, it really annoys me too. At the moment I have that problem, along with the fact that I accidentally cut myself on a shelf when it fell on top of me and reopened one of the cuts but only in the middle. So the edges are itchy and the middle is still like an open cut. And it's so annoying.

harreg · 29-03-2009, 12:45 AM

yer its really annoying, especially wen there big cz it re opens and everything. not good.

Happyhead · 29-03-2009, 10:02 PM

That is the very worst part of the whole thing!, it just itches so much, it usually happens when I'm at work, i will be sat at my desk trying to work and the itching will just drive me crazy!

immoraldefect · 31-03-2009, 02:22 AM

I rather enjoy the itching of a healing wound gives you an excuse to scratch and reopen the wound

nuclearnight · 31-03-2009, 03:01 AM

I hear you, so frustrating!
Have you tried eurax cream? I'm not sure if it's okay to use on an open wound, but it's definitely okay to use once the skin has healed over a little bit, will stop you from itching for about six hours.
