Is It Normal To Itch During Healing Of A Broken Bone?
Is it normal for a foot to itch during the healing process of a broken bone - 5th metarsal. I do not have a cast - only a boot and it is not on at night. It has been a week and a half since the break. It still is a little discolored with one round purple spot that was not there initially.

hi,
ya it is normal to get itching during healing as the skin might become dry due to less movement of the elastic tissue called the skin and the muscles. And if you are sure it is a fracture than taking an expert advice is recommended. Its not harmful at all.
Hope you will take it positively.
With the grace of god i wish you a speedy recovery
