not anymore bc mine are very old but when they’re healing it’s really itchy and uncomfortable, if that’s what you’re asking? or do yours itch even post healing?

Yeah. Mine are 10+ years old and will still do that. Lotion helps a lot.

I usually rinse them with soap and water and then gently dry them, that kind of helps alleviate the itch. -Sam

Ugh, yeah. Once they heal and just become marks, it's all good. But when they're all scabby???? Blegh. Keep wherever they are hydrated and moisturized. If you have serum (for skincare), it'll work wonders. If not, a little bit of coconut oil will work just as well 💕
