Brief Answer:

Due to bilirubin and histamine release.

Detailed Answer:

Hello!

I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but the itching is a normal symptom of a healing bruise. This occurs due to the release of bilirubin from the healing bruise which causes skin irritation and itching.

As for dandruff and itchy scalp, this could be due to the release of histamine in the process of healing.

This can be relived by an antidandruff shampoo and an antihistaminic as Citrizine once daily before going to bed.

I hope you find this helpful.
