A member asked:
Does surgical scars burn after awhile? been over 3 yrs since i had laparoscopic appendectomy. and the one under my belly button burns/ causes discomfort sometimes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A scar should not be symptomatic or burn. It may be due to nerve entrapment in the scar. It would be prudent to consult the surgeon who performed the surgery or your primary care provider. Wish you good health!
