Itching at IV site

[jild783]

I had my first infusion in my left arm on June 12th, second one in my right arm on June 26th. Just over this past weekend, my left arm has started itching around where the IV was. It's not a constant itch, but off and on. Should I be concerned about this, or is the itching normal?

The itching could be from the site healing....wounds, no matter how small tend to itch when they heal.....if you have any redness, tenderness or swelling along with the itching I would contact the doctors office to have it checked.

No redness, swelling, etc. Must be healing, I didn't think of that. Thanks so much for the reply!
