Should stitches itch like crazy if they've only been in a few days ?

Can do especially if the area is hairy

mrsd, had a few stitches and they DO itch (like fcking crayzee sometimes)

[noel]

yeah, they itch alot in my experience, part of the healing process. Try a bit of Aloe Vera it might help.

Did anyone else skim-read this as having something to do with our inestimable colleague CarZee?

Yes, and afraid in a little while they may well feel like they are pulling too.. Can't really use a cream on it, but Ibuprofen will ease the irritation and reduce the swelling. Needs a few over a few days by which time they will probably be ready to come out..
