Hi, Dear,Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns. Treatment -The scar of recent origin is in healing process. But it seems you have excessive collagen response leading to keloid tumour-which is non-malignant. Such keloids are known to cause itching-and indicates a healing process of shrinking by fibrosis. I would advise you to apply some anti-inflammatory point locally to reduce the inflammatory process at site / and to consult a Surgeon for any intra-articular steroid injection. So don't build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you, but just ask a query to Chat Doctor and be comfortable to resolve your health issues. Welcome for any more query in this regard to Chat Doctor. Write good resume and Click thanks if you feel satisfied with my advice. Have a Good Day. Chat Doctor. N.
