A member asked:
7 stitches in ring finger. 4 days later itches crazy. wrapped up in gauze with bacitration, what is normal healing/discomfort?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sounds normal: Healing stitches can itch like crazy. ( I have personal experience with this). You might want to peek under the bandage and make sure you haven't developed a rash from the bacitracin or something else.
