Healing wounds

Hi,

I was banded on January 20. I've lost 13 lbs since and I feel great. I have a question regarding the healing process. My scars look like they are healing properly, however, they are red and itchy. Is that normal? Has anyone experienced the same?

    Normal. Itchy means healing, and healing is good!
