Answer
Hello! The wound of the trocar hole 4 days after surgery may be itchy due to the wound healing process. It is a normal physiological process in all skin wounds. So you don't need to worry too much about the condition, the appendix surgery 4 days, the incision is a bit itchy, there is an infection.
However, you should still continue to monitor if the incision shows abnormal signs, you should return to the medical facility that has examined or go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System to be examined by a doctor and in-depth assessment. I wish you good health.
