Definitely normal. My incisions itched for a couple months. I was authorized to use Dermoplast spray which relieves itching. Its sold at Walgreens and CVS in the First Aid aisle its made for wounds so completely safe and it saved my life at work and during the night lol.

Histamines (allergy pills are usually anti-histamines, for context) do play a role in wound healing, so itching when wounds are healing is very common.
I would definitely tell your PS if you are concerned, but I wouldn't worry about being allergic to your sutures.
