It's completely normal. Scars itch due to either new cell growth or an infection. Often times, when cuts heal, the tissue layering is inconsistent. Due to this, more layers are needed. That's where the itching comes from. If the itching is more severe, it may be a sign of infection.

Part of the scaring/healing process. The skin also may not have formed completely, leaving irritatable skin. The sun/heat/coldness/dryness can also cause them to become irritated.

Scars are a reminder of pain. Every time you see or feel a scar on you, forget about it and simply surround yourself with people who love you.

They might still have slight scabs, or ghost scabs, because scars is still healing skin. The scar is also a physical reminder of what happened, which might affect things

Scars take time to heal. Even though the scabs may be gone, your body is still in the healing process to repair that damaged skin. Try putting Bio Oil on them, this oil works wonders in clearing up scars, and makes your skin very soft.

Scars itch because it's just a part of the healing process. To ease some of the itching, try applying some lotion or cream especially for scars because your skin might be a bit dry.

Truthfully, I do not know. Maybe it's your subconscious thinking about it, trying to relieve the built up pain you have pushed aside. I really do not know.
