Is Itching On An Old Dog Bite Wound A Matter Of Concern?
I have a two year old scar on my hand from a dog bite. I keep my hands well lotioned since i have dry skin on my hands. Nomally the scar is the same color as my skin but at times it will turn red and itchy as well. It is a slightly raised scar. Also if i know ill be out in the sun i will put a little bit of sun block on it. Should i be worried about how itchy its been lately.
Nothing much to worry. You can take antihistamines like Pheniramine for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist, you can consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
