Because scars are part of your skin, just skin forming over a damaged area of your skin. It honestly because of irratiation sometimes.

My itch too sometimes. It is quite natural. It is just the skin getting irritated at times. Those will go.

Because they are healing, try not to itch, it's going to be okay. Let them heal, and use them as a reflection!

Scars itching can be annoying, but the reason they itch is because the nerve endings were damaged. Don't worry about it because you know it will be healing.

This itching may be due to the healing process. It may also be due in part to some dryness of the skin overlying the scar. Finally, it is partly to due to the fact that small nerve endings that were cut during the surgery are growing back into the area.

Sometimes scar wounds can get irritated, but it helps to keep the scar wounds clean with soap and water. When the scars have healed better and, rather than an open wound, feels more like a bump on your skin, you can use lotion to help it stay smooth! I personally love Aveeno, and generally any light scented lotions should help!

There could be multiple reasons for this but since we can't see them, we can only have a shot in the dark and throw guesses at you. If you're ever really concerned about anything medical to do with your body, your GP is always the person you should definitely see. They're not only qualified to give you advice and any medications you may need but they also know you, your situation and your history. They will be able to give you a much more accurate answer than any of us ever could. I hope this helps.

When fresh wounds turn into scars, it itches because its healing. The scar part is not done healing and will itch when its 3-4 months old aswell.
