What’s wrong with itchy scars?

Keloids are mostly referred to as keloid scars, and their itching is a common part of the growth process. First, the fibroblasts, nerves and blood vessels in the keloid grow beyond the affected skin area and are often accompanied by pain and itching discomfort. This itching is mostly due to the nerve endings growing into the proliferating fibroblasts, causing abnormal or impaired sensation. In addition, the localized proliferation also releases mediators such as histamine and prostaglandins, which cause itching sensation. It is recommended to consult the regular hospital in a timely manner, under the guidance of a professional physician for targeted comprehensive treatment, such as external scar removal ointment, laser, intradermal injection of medication, and so on, and in severe cases, even require surgical intervention, but also optional superficial X-ray radiation therapy.
