My stab wound has been fully closed for almost a month now. i still have tenderness and a bit of swelling/bruising near the scar. how can i reduce it?

Wound pain: It's not uncommon to continue to have itching or even pain at a wound for a significant time after a wound has healed. I would ask your doctor for a topical analgesic. If this persists for more than another few weeks, I would get it re-evaluated.
