Because scars are still in the healing process for a long time. When body wounds are in the process of healing, they itch.

Were they ever infected, and how deep are they? You might have hit something . What color is the scar?

Itching means they are healing. Healing takes time. If you're really worried about it, it may be time to see a doctor.

Because of the scab that is trying to form it will stop eventually. However, in the meantime try not to itch it because that will worsen it.

They're probably trying to heal up. If they're recent, they itch during the healing process. If they're already healed, it could be because you know you're there, and you could be self-conscious of them.

Scars are like a bump. Theyre there and they itch. Even tho they are healing and going away they will still itch

Scars may itch from urges to self harm again or some times if you feel something that you felt at the time you inflicted them, they will feel itchy or tingly because your body is familiar with the feeling. Try and refrain from inflicting more on yourself. Don't scratch at them if they itch, maybe just rub them gently.

It's part of the healing process..It may be also due in part to some dryness of the skin overlying the scar.

That tends to happen on areas where skin or tissue was damaged. In time when the skin completely heals, they'll just stop itching. Even if it's been a while since they healed, the process might not be complete.
Make sure you moisturise and just be very gentle with the skin.

Your scars still itch because the tissue is actually still healing and blood is moving throughout the scars. That's why a reopened scar tissue bleeds more than a new scrape.

Itching is a sign of the body healing itself, Scars will continue to change shape and size as the healing process continues. This is normal, but it will eventually stop with time.

In my experience I found that this was all part of the healing process. It's our bodies way of repairing itself

It might be because the tool you used wasn't clean which could have cause an infection. Not really sure but that could be a big cause as to why they still itch.

Your scars may still itch due to a psychological effect. Your brain sees that there's on your skin, so it tries to compensate for that.

Sometimes if a scar is not fully healed (and has a scab still) it'll itch, it'll take a while to heal. don't pick the scab. Or you get a worse scar.

They have to heal properly, that's probably what makes it itch. But don't worry, it's just your body trying to heal you :)

When scars itch it means it hasn't healed fully. After it heals completely, then the itching should stop. But if it doesn't after it's completely healed, then something might be wrong and I would suggest seeing a doctor about it.

Scars can take a while to heal. Itching is probably cause by inflamation in the skin of the scar. As the scar heals, the itching will decrease
