Can scar tissue become inflamed when rubbed and prodded?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely: scar tissue is extrememly vascular and sensitive to touch, and can be painful when rubbed. I like silicone sheeting, and injection of steroids into scars (and sometimes laser treatments), that helps a lot.
