It'll probably be that way for a while, however a scar cream or regular lotion will help. The skin needs to be hydrated not neglected.

Even after my cuts have fully fully healed and have scared over I notice them still itching from time to time. I feel this is because of they way our brain relates the scars with how we got them. Over time I think that the itching will go away, everything gets better with time.

your scars still itch because they are healing. and because you feel that urge to "let go" of the pain in order to feel again.

It depends how new they are that they can still be itchy. Sometimes it takes a bit more time than others for them to still fully heal, using polysporin or coconut oil will probably help :)

There are a variety of reasons. If the scar is recent, it may still be healing and the itch is part of the healing process. Otherwise, it's probably due to dry skin over the scar. You can treat this with anti-itch cream or soothing lotion, but try not to scratch at the scars or the problem will get worse.

Your scars may be itching because it is healing, irritated, scabbing or drying. It may not even be actually itchy, instead your head may be playing tricks on you.

The new scar tissue irritates the skin's nerve terminals. The itch stops, when those nerve terminals adapt to the new scar tissue.
