It could either be that they are still healing or it could be a little nerve damage. It just depends on how deep the cur was.

Your scars are reminders of what you did in the past. A lot of times when you think about cutting again you might get the sensation that your sars are itching.

they'll always be there, invisible but you'll always carry them with you. They're a part of you, you'll learn from them. Remember, everything happens for a reason.

I find that the heat and cold cause my scars to itch, I also find that if there is lots of pollen and allergenics around it can inflame them. Also sunburn and exposure.

You scars still itch because they are healing. I know that bio oil can help to soothe the scar tissue and help with healing.

It has to do with the activiation of nerve fibers by healing tissue. It is perfectly normal and shouldn't be unbareable. if it is, try talking to a doctor about it, because there might be more going on.

Sometimes old scars will itch, and that's generally due to either an infection or new cell growth.

Have they completely healed? When scars are completely healed they don't normally itch anymore. It might be helpful to use some ointment on them if the itching is bothersome.
