What causes scar tissue to be painful and sensitive i have a scar?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most scars stop being uncomfortable after a couple of weeks, but due to damage to the small superficial skin nerves scars can remain quite sensitive years after an injury. There are various treatment options that you can try to improve the sensitivity such as massage,silicone gel,moisturizers& healing ointments like aquaphor.
