A member asked:
Is it normal for a scar to hurt when it's cold?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: If the scar is new, then the scar fibers may be tight and they could hurt in the cold. Scar massage with a scar gel for 5 minutes at a time twice a day over the course of 4-6 months could improve the tight or painful feeling.
