Hi ! I think the itchiness is related to the wound itself rather than the discharge. Unless there is the beginning of an infection but from your brief description I gather the discharge is minimal and clear which I suspect is secondary to inflammation. Obviously correct me if I am wrong ! If it’s all correct, I would wipe away the oozing with some cotton wool and salty water and keep an eye on the wound.
