Well, poor guy...give him a big hug for me and I hope it heals soon.

I know as wounds dry; they get tight and itchy.
For me, putting anything that itches in cold water stops the itch, but if he has to keep it dry, that won’t work.

The doc used derma bond, skin super glue, and a q-tip to put all the skin back where it belonged. Besides keep it dry, she said, “Do NOT pick at the edges”. We will see if the itches develop in the next 5 to 10 days. This is the first time I've seen super glue used.
