Thigh scar

I have a scar on the inside of my right thigh that is itchy and purple. I don't know what to do to help it?

Re: Thigh scar

It is possible that your scar is still active and unstable.

There are number of options including;
A) Applying cold non perfumed moisturiser (kept in fridge)
B) Massage with firm circular movements 3-4 times daily for 3-5 minutes or longer each session depending on the size.
C) Consider an over the counter anti itch tablet
D) Consider silicone gel/tape, steroid tapes/injections, laser

I hope this helps
