Why do my scars still itch?

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

Your scars will itch because they are healing and because your wearing long sleeves.they aren't used to healing

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
