I got meds on the day of the procedure which was the 21 Aug an i got more meds yesterday. But still the itch is still crazy bad an just on the head an swelling. Not at the stitches.

It might be worthwhile giving the new meds a Chance to work. Not all medications have immediate effect. Take care.

Hi everyone, just wanted to update on the itchiness, so i went back to my doctor an then got a second opinion an it turns that i had reacted badly to the ointment given. So I've been given a differ ointment an the itchiness has stopped. I just want to thank everyone for the advise, assistance an support. You guys are awesome
