How to Stop Wounds From Itching While They Are Healing
- 1). Wash your hands with warm water and soap.
- 2). Use your index finger to apply a topical antibiotic to the wound. This should help the wound heal, while preventing itching and relieving pain.
- 3). Keep the wound clean by covering it with a bandage or gauze. Change the bandage daily.
- 4). Leave the wound alone. Picking or scratching the area will prevent the wound from healing properly.
