When will the wound stop itching after healing?

Patient's question:

I might be a keloid-prone person. After undergoing a circumcision surgery, the incision area itches after healing. How long does it usually take for the itching to subside?

Doctor's answer:

Hello: It's not easy to determine. After healing, it shouldn't itch. You can take some anti-inflammatory medication. When the wound itches, pay attention to eating more fresh green leafy vegetables and fruits, eggs, lean meat, and other foods rich in vitamins and essential amino acids for the human body.
When a patient is sick or undergoes surgery, they are in a special period. The patient's greatest need is to heal the wound quickly or enhance their immunity. Whether there is inflammation in the wound can be judged by the healing pattern of the wound and whether there is inflammatory exudate.
