surely it shouldnt itch so that we don't accidentally take it off whilst scratching. it's not infected, even the nurse says itching is a sign of healing. WHY though!?

The underlying skin is grafting back together. As it does, it pulls together, much like a stitch pulls two pieces of skin together. This pulling causes the itching sensation you feel.

Itchy scabs
Question
What I should do about scabs? They get really itchy but I don't want to scratch them. Does scratching really leave a scar and, if it does, what else can I do to stop the itching?
Answer
Scabs form on the skin to protect the cells underneath and allow them to heal. This stops bacteria or infections getting back into the broken skin. They can become itchy, but you really should try your best not to scratch them. If you pick the scab off by scratching it, the skin underneath will take longer to repair and can leave a scar. So try your best to leave it alone.
You haven't said where the scabs came from. If they are the result of a cut or abrasion, there is not a great deal you can do for the itch. But if they're the result of an illness (such as chicken pox), you could speak to your local doctor (GP) about dealing with the underlying problem. It may also worth speaking to your local chemist to see if they can recommend anything that might reduce the irritation caused by scabs.

You shouldn't have a real heavy scab to begin with. And what little scab you get should only last about a week. Did you follow the artists aftercare instructions exactly as spelled out? You should probably contact the artist and get feed back from them. Your scab and itching seems like its been going on for too long.

It's because new skin is growing under the scab and as a result it tickles and itches.
It sucks but hey what can ya do?!!?

Two things cause most itching. The first is histamine release due to trauma to the skin ( ie poison ivy)The other causecan be due to nerves which have been damaged and have now healed enough to send sensory signals again. Same thing happens with sunburns that heal, scrapes, or any other trauma to the skin.

the cells that protects and heal the skin are moving to sorround that area.so the skin that's forming get's tighter.that's a simple way to put it.i learned a lot of medical conditions,and body functions by reading a magazine published by the watch tower called 'awake' from the jehova's witnesses religion.they distributes them.

Probably because the skin is sewing itself back together. it kneads its way through itself to repair. Try Camoline Cream. It's good for itching (i used it for kids chicken pocks). Not the lotion though It's really sticky and turns everything white!

The process of damaging your tissue resulted in the release of inflammatory agents and other chemicals including what is known as Substance "P". This has the effect of facilitating the sensory nerves in the location of injury so that they are stimulated to action potential at a lower threshold. You feel itching because these nerves are hypersensitive.

Ask your doctor about an exercise routine. Regular exercise, such as walking three times a week, may reduce neuropathy pain, improve your muscle strength and help control blood sugar levels. Gentle routines such as yoga and tai chi might also help.
