Scars, bumps, itching indicate growth

Scar lumps and itching may be a sign of tissue proliferation or inflammatory response, but it does not necessarily indicate growth. The itching sensation of scar lumps is usually caused by local nerve sensitivity, inflammatory stimulation, or scar hyperplasia, and should be judged based on specific symptoms. When scar tissue itches, accompanied by redness, swelling, fever, or continuous enlargement, it may indicate that the scar is in an active proliferative phase. At this time, the proliferation of fibroblasts in the dermis layer is excessive, collagen synthesis is abnormal, and nerve endings are stimulated to produce itching sensation. This type of situation is common in people with scar constitution or during the peak period of hyperplasia within three months after wound healing. Daily scratching and stimulation should be avoided, and local cold compress can alleviate symptoms. If necessary, seek medical attention for professional evaluation. Partial resting scars may also experience occasional itching due to dryness, clothing friction, or temperature changes, which is related to residual inflammatory mediators in scar tissue. This type of situation is usually not accompanied by volume changes and can be improved through moisturizing care. In special circumstances, when scars continue to itch and are accompanied by ulcers and exudate, it is necessary to be alert to the possibility of scar cancer and undergo pathological examination in a timely manner. For daily management of scar lumps, it is recommended to keep the affected area clean and moist, and choose non irritating medical silicone patches or scar care products. Avoid direct sunlight and mechanical friction, wear loose cotton clothing. Reduce the intake of spicy and stimulating foods in diet, and supplement with vitamin E and high-quality protein appropriately. If itching continues to worsen or scars significantly increase, seek medical attention as soon as possible to receive professional interventions such as laser treatment and drug injection to prevent further deterioration of scars and affect function.
