A member asked:

If i gently touch one part of my neck, i feel a needle sharp pain a few inches away in a 15 year old scar. any ideas?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Neuroma/keloid?: There may be a few different causes. Traumatic neuromas ( cutaneous nerve injuries) may be responsible for the referred pain. Diagnosis may be aided with a local block. Early keloid scars may also be symptomatic with dysesthesias manifested by pins and needles or pain. These may be treated with steroids.
