When it comes 2 infections, wounds, and so on. is an itching sensation considered a good thing or bad? iv herd an itching sensation means its healing.

In context,it's good: Depending of the situation, if dealing with a soft tissue infection/ ulceration, once the infection is controlled, the itching suggests return to innervation. However, if you are dealing with other diseases, itching may suggest worsening of a condition ( e.g shingles, herpes)
