Itchy=Healing??

Hi:

I am now almost 6 weeks post Botox. The spasms and pain have reduced greatly in just the last week. I have also been using diltiazem cream twice a day for over 4 weeks. I don’t know if it’s the Botox or cream that has finally started to do the job of reducing the spasms but I am grateful to finally feel some relief. What has changed though is that I find I have quite a bit of itchiness in the area which I did not have before. Is this by chance a sign of healing? I know with other wounds when it starts itching it’s usually a sign of healing. I also had a small amount of blood when having a BM this morning which is unusual. 

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks, Vuki

    I used this cream and had extremely itching skin around that area. Once I stopped the cream the itching stopped and it is a side effect.
