I've had a similar thing happen, in fact, months later the scar is still purpleish-red. I've never found out what caused this to happen, I'm suspecting because I might've hit something. But I don't know for sure. It hasn't caused any problems...that I'm aware of. Anyway, if you're scars are sore to the touch, I would reccomend having a doc check them over, if it turns out to be nothing, he/she might be able to give some advice on how to make the purple-red color lessen (or dissapear).

The purple is scar tissue forming. It is fairly normal.
For the pain, the best i can advise is using an antiseptic cream such as germonlee which might take the ache out of it. As for the purple colour, if you use bio oil frequently on the wound it should help the colour to fade.

Take care
