Hi Can You Please Explain Why A Cut Itches
Question: hi can you please explain why a cut itches
hi can you please explain why a cut itches
Brief Answer:
Normal healing process
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
In skin breakage, the cells of the skin attach together and contract to pull it shut, thus creating mechanical stress which activated the itch nerves.
Also, the itch nerve fibers can also be irritated by chemicals around the cut/wound, thus intensifying the itching.
Unless there is bleeding, redness, or change in color and severe skin irritation (which are signs of infection), there is nothing to worry about as it is part of the healing process.
In order to reduce itching you may use calamine lotion on the area.
I hope this answers your question satisfactorily. Let me know if you have further questions.
Take care

Brief Answer:
Explanation provided
Detailed Answer:
The joints contain fluid, which is called synovial fluid, which acts as a lubricant. When cracking your knuckles, the joint capsule is stretched and nitrogen gas is rapidly and temporarily released as bubbles. After the gases return to the synovial fluid, cracking is possible again.
Cracking your knuckles is not harmful and does not cause inflammation of the joints or arthritis.
It is not possible to feel the fluid getting released in your knuckles, but it may be a subjective sensation.
I hope this answers your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

What happens if u don’t floss the teeth what can happen trying my best can I die???
Brief Answer:
Please see the explanation below
Detailed Answer:
Eating non-breaded chicken wings is not associated with any health hazard if cooked properly and not consumed in excessive amounts.
Failing to floss your teeth may result in faster tooth decay, which may lead to infection and eventually to tooth loss. A tooth infection, only if left untreated, can be potentially life-threatening in case the infection moves to the bone and blood.
