Welcome at HCM
I appreciate your health concerns
As far as mesh repair for hernia is concerned, mesh itself has nothing to to with the itching around the surgical site .
it is most probably due to some infection. In my opinion you should see your surgeon so that it can be properly dealt.
Meanwhile stay calm and maintain the hygiene and you can wash the wound too.
Hope it help
