Brief Answer:
Sensation is due to healing and will be healed soon.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks again for your feedback and query.
The healing is good, the wound is almost healing.
It looks the Hydrogen peroxide has worked well to reduced the sprouting granulation tissues and enhanced the healing as seen in one of the pictures.
If the progress remains the same, may heal very soon.
Continue multi-vitamins and local applications as you are doing now.
The typical sensations you have explained are seen due to good healing, experienced by almost all patients.
So carry on, all the best for an early and full recovery.
