Wound Care Question - Itchy Scratches

[Catharsis]

The scratches on my forearm have scabbed over. But now they are really itchy. Is this normal? And is there anything i can do to stop then itching?

Itching is normal in the healing process. As for helping with them, there are many creams/lotions out there that can help, just go to a pharmacy and you should find plenty of options. Try not to scratch them open as that can cause risk for infection and extra scarring.

Hope you feel less itchy soon!

Thank You :)
Would things like Vasaline help, or would it have to be special creams?

Itching is normal. your best option is to use antiseptic cream on them such as germolene. this should help keep them clean as well as taking the itch away.
