Wound itching

Itchy wound healing is actually related to the human skin structure and tissue regeneration ability. It turns out that the human skin is divided into two layers, the epidermis and the dermis, and the subdermal tissue is under the dermis. In addition, the skin also has hair, sebaceous glands, sweat glands, fingernails and other appendages. And different skin structures feel the wound differently. Because various tissues of the human body have different regenerative capabilities, neural tissues have lower regenerative capabilities. Generally, when the nerves are growing fast, the wounds are also growing fast. As the nerve endings grow into connective tissue, the wound can feel itchy and painful.
