Infection - Painful scar

Hannah_x · 02-09-2007, 04:03 PM

I have a lot of SI scars, but I have one particularly bad keloid scar. I've had it for about a year, but I still get bolts of pain through it like every single day.
Does anyone know why this is or how long it should last for ?
Cheers,

The pain is usually from the tissue healing under the skin.
The best thing you can usually do for this is to massage vitamin E crem into the area.
If you are concerned though, it might be worth speaking to you GP, who maybe able to offer some extra treatments. Depending on the loaction of the wound, they wouldnt nesicarilyneed to know what caused the wound.

Take care

Ah thanks, I'll try and get some :)
My GP already knows about my SI so I might ask her about it as well
Thanks for the advice !
