Hi Sam,Itching can be a sign of healing but prolonged itching for a few months can indicate inflammation. IT would be wise to check in with your surgeon. Issues like folliculitis, ingrown hairs, cysts, dermatitis, can contribute to itching. There are other causes too. Most causes of itching do not impact growth, but yes, some absolutely do. Be sure to check in with your surgeon. Thank you for the question. DrDonovan
