I just wanted to add to this b/c I remembered reading this thread and my cuts have been bugging me too.. but I usually just kind of ignore it or don't really give it a 2nd thought... again, the whole concept of actually caring or taking care of myself is above my head but hell, if there's something to make them not itch why not! so tried an anti itch cream like it was suggested in here (and to me in a nother post) and it worked really well! try Goldbond's, for relieving pain (it's medicated) & itch. it has this minty smell and honestly feels like a mint when you put it on, might even be somewhat intense but it doesn't hurt. eventually it goes away and the itch's gone... I don't know if this is due to it just being A cream or b/c of the anti-itch but it's worth a shot.
