Please consult with your wound doctor or wound care nurse on this issue asap, usually itching is a sign of an allergic reaction.

You should go to a wound care center, that is their specialty.
You could have an allergy to the medication so I would discontinue for now and see your doctor.
I recommend you stop using the Santyl and contact the provider who prescribed the medication to discuss options
Stop using it. See your doctor.
Discontinue the Santyl and contact the doctor who prescribed it to see about alternatives or see if he wishes to continue it.
