Why does the circumcision wound itch?

Generally speaking, the healing of deeper wounds is done by a new tissue called connective tissue. New blood vessels and nerves all grow from connective tissue. These new blood vessels and nerves are very dense and crowded together. New nerves are easily stimulated, and because nerves are very sensitive, they will produce an itchy feeling. The regenerative capacity of each tissue in the human body is also different. The regenerative capacity of nerve tissue is relatively low, and it appears later in wound healing, generally when the nerves are growing fast, and the wound is also growing fast. At this time, the new nerve endings and blood vessels have grown into the connective tissue, and local perception is gradually restored, which causes the wound to itch, especially when sweating or the weather changes. Therefore, when the wound becomes itchy, it means that the nerve tissue of the wound has regenerated and the local sensation of the wound has recovered, which often also indicates that the wound will heal soon.
