Old scars
When a raised old scar itches does this mean its shrinking? Thanks

Re: Old scars
If the scar is raised and itchy it is most likely hypertrophic or keloidal and would benefit from treatment, which includes silicone, steroids, laser or simple massaging and moisturisation with a cool cream.
Itch shows that the scar is still quite active!
Best regards,
