Itching is common when the tissue starts healing. You can soothe the area with witch hazel pads (or Tucks) and ask your doctor about an anti-itch cream or spray that is suitable for perineal use.
You can also try soaking in an oatmeal bath.

Try the Tucks pads. I found those worked the best. Also Cortisone 10 cream is good too. Just be sure to follow the direstions. Try to keep the area clean and dry , as that could be a cause of irritation. Oh, and don't scratch!

They sell a spray that works great for that. The hospital should have given you some. It most likely means that you are healing. If it gets too bad you may want to go to your Dr. to have it checked in case of an infection,

The hospital should have given you some anesthesia spray...it is supposed to help with the itching and possible soreness. also using witch hazel pads that the hospital gives you is supposed to help

I had a reaction to the stitches my midwife removed them for me! Yes they were dissolving one but it was driving me crazy!! She said it was like a allergy to them!! So as the tear was well on the way to healed she took them out.
