On behalf of Maggie:
I have a scar on my abdomen from a hernia surgery. It still itches 3 years later. Is it going to itch for the rest of my life?

Fair skin and the sun
I have red hair and fair skin and burn in the sun very quickly. I do try to use sun spray (usually 50+) but there are times where I forget or it's sunnier than I've realised and by the time I do it's too late.
