welts and itchiness on scars
 

This is the first time this has happened to me but some of my recent scars have gotten darker and started to puff up and go into welts and they are really really really itchy. Anyone know what this is?

I have had that before.. i have no idea what it is. Im sure someone who knows what there talking about will be along soon to talk to you.
Take care x x

Could they have been in contact with an irritant or something you are allergic to? Take care, I'm not sure what this is xoxox

mine did that for a while; are they keliods? it may just be them trying to heal fully. i have a keliod scar on my arm that puffed and itch all the time for almost 4 years before it healed completely.

start making sure you clean the area and put coca butter and/or vitamin E on it.

Some of mine are ging deep purple to almost black. Is it really just them trying to heal? Cause it does freak me out too.

Ness, how are you looking after the wound?
Are you using any dressings?
Are you using anything to clean them with?

I never do anything to my cuts I just usually leave them alone. I never put anything on them or anything like that.

At first I thought that it might be an allergy to something you where using on them. Now that you have ruled that out, i would say that they are just healing normally. As for the itching, massage some cream into them frequently, it should help ease it. The itching is a good sign. It shows that they are healing.

Take care
