Itching after keloid injection is due to a local reaction following the injection.
Itching after keloid injections is usually due to an inflammatory reaction in the local skin. This reaction could be a mild allergic reaction to the medication or a normal response of the tissue at the injection site during its recovery process. Mild swelling and redness may occur at the injection site during recovery, both of which can cause itching. After the injection, the local skin's immune system may be activated, leading to itching. This itching is usually temporary, but if it persists for a long time or is accompanied by other symptoms such as pain or increased redness and swelling, medical attention should be sought immediately.
Injectable medications are a common treatment for keloid scars, but some side effects, such as itching, may occur after injection. This itching may be due to a mild allergic reaction to the medication ingredients or a normal reaction of the tissue at the injection site during its healing process. It's important to note that while itching is usually temporary, if it persists for a long time or is accompanied by other symptoms such as pain, increased redness, or swelling, medical attention should be sought promptly. Post-injection local care is also crucial, including keeping the injection site clean and dry, and avoiding friction and irritation to reduce itching.
[Management Tip:]
1. Keep the injection site clean and dry, and avoid friction and irritation.
2. If the itching persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, you should seek medical attention promptly.
3. Follow your doctor's advice and have regular check-ups at the injection site.
