Hi if the itching is mild with no gaping and foul smelling discharge it is fine . regular sitz bath 3 times a day will give good relief and also help in healing the wound.

Itching not necessarily means healing You need to be examined

Itchy usually means healing. But if there is any discharge or pain then it's abnormal and needs check up

It is usually normal. Check whether any smelly discharge is present. The episiotomy area should be reddish or pinkish
