Hypertrophic scars: And keloids are types of abnormal scarring (caused by genetics, and aggravated by inflammation during healing). Both can last more than a year after surgery, especially if the scars are still pink and symptomatic as you describe. See your plastic surgeon for advice on several ways to help your symptoms, including scar pads, vit e, steroid injections, capsaicin, or even scar revision.
