Silicone sheeting: I would try silicone gel sheeting as an abrasion guard. If they are that uncomfortable, revision sounds reasonable.

Talk with your Surge: It sounds like you've got hypertrophic scars that remain sensitive. Scarring is a process that can take a year to 18 months. However, given your sensitivity, i might recommend steroid injections. But first, i'd go see your surgeon to have them take a look.

Multiple options: There are many different scar creams out there with varying degrees of science behind them and clinical information. In my office, we offer skinmedica's scar recovery which has shown good early results.
