They probably aren't fully healed.. If they are turning odd colours then you have an infection and should seek medical help ASAP.

They may be infected, you would need to see a doctor or make sure and apply ointment of some kind to help sooth it and get rid of the infection

I have a scar that still itches. I've read it was because of the healing process and blood was traveling to that area to repair itself.

Because also you have a scar and it looks as though the body has been healed it can take months or even years for a scar to truly heal. Try to avoid itching because it can cause more damage to the epithelial tissue and nerve endings.

Maybe they're infected, see a doctor. Do you pick at them? If you do, don't. It's never good to.....

They might still be healing. Even if they look completely healed, there might be some internal healing going on. My dermatologist said to massage my scars with vasoline to help itching and to promote scar fading. :)

Any cut that draws blood also goes through the skin, and cuts the nervous tissue and those connections. As the nerves regrow, they can cause a tingling or itching sensation, which can also be from the skin rubbing over the nerve endings that aren't fully grown back. As nervous tissue takes a while to heal, the itching may last for a while, depending on the area.

Scars that continue to itch after long periods of time, such as months or even years, are usually burn or keloid scars. Although it's not completely known why they do so, most doctors believe that they itch due to healing. It's possible for deep wounds to take many years to completely heal. Some itch due to the constant stretching of the skin when you move, others due to dryness or friction. The most effective thing to do is to keep moisturizing the area to reduce the irritation.
