it sounds to me like a keloid. keloids are basically a build up of scar tissue. but like... massive build up.
and contrary to what everyone else has said, i have a number of them, and they have not faded or gotten less raised, even after a bit over three years.
mine still itch as well. i put moisturiser on them daily, which does help a lot.
i have even been to a skin doctor. she said she can give me something to put on to stop itching, but that unless i wanted plastic surgery, they won't ever heal like normal scars.
maybe mine are just a lot worse or my skin sucks, i dunno. but if you've got scars like that, generally the cut should have been stitched up, is what i've been told.
