The healing process is not over yet and new skin is still being made. It will end soon, do not worry :)

Anyone who has deep scrapeor similar wound that results in a scar has most likely experienced extreme itchiness and a tight feeling as it heals itching around the site of the scar is tipically due to normal healing of the tissue which depends on how deep the wound is it evwn may take more time to heal on the inside layers of the tissue more than the outside layers of your skin

It is a part of normal healing process. People experience itching in places of their scars due to contraction while the traces are being healed. Sometimes it could just be due to dryness of your skin over your scar. It should go away soon.

You could have an infection. It depends on how recent your self-harm episode(s) was and how often you did it. It also depends on how clean you kept the area. Do NOT scratch it, and be sure to clean the area at least once a day.

I believe that my scars still itch because they are reminding me of what happened in the past. When I was alone and afraid and had nothing else left. They remind me that now I can be free of self harm.

Sometimes its a subconscious thing. Mime still itch sometimes too, but only ever when they are out on show. I'm no doctor, but I think you panic (subconsciously) and, think about it, while you scratch it covers your scars. However, scarred skin is also very sensitive so it could be due to your environment.

Generally, our scars take a while to heal and itching indicates that they are healing. You're on your journey to recovering and that's amazing 😊

Perhaps it is a placebo effect. Memories can trigger physical feelings, as can smells and sights. You may be remembering the healing process, even as your wounds are already healed.
