My most recent cuts scarred, they are still bright and seem to itch a lot. Is this normal and how can I make it stop? I cut my thighs and I can’t always scratch them and I doubt it does them any good.

Have you tried olive oil/lavendar oil? Aloe vera gel or from the plant helps with the itch.

It’s perfectly normal for recent scars to itch. It’ll stop as the scars get older, but for now just keep them moisturized with lotion – it should help with the itching and also with the severity of the scarring.

Thanks for the replies, I was starting to worry that they may have been infected. I’ll try what you’ve mentioned. :)

Lotions that have no perfumes. Perfumes will only irritate the scars more. Glaxal base is good. As is vitamin e oil

you may have an allergy to whatever you cut yourself with. it happens to me sometimes. what helps me is some cortizone cream with the cooling element in it. vitamin e oil also helps to heal things faster.
