My burn wounds are healing using triple antibiotic but now they're itchy. what can i use to help with the itchiness?

Sign of Healing: Itching is a sign of healing as the damaged nerve fibers regrow. Using an emollient body cream like Gold Bond(R) may help. For severe itching try Lanacaine. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
