A member asked:

Why is my scar still itchy 3/4 after mole removal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Itching is normal : During the healing process, the body releases special proteins that guide the repair and remodeling. One of the side-effects is itching. This will slowly resolve. In some patients, this resolution may be prolonged. Steroid can help but ask your dermatologist first.
