My husband has a scar on his forehead just past his hair line. It's been bothering him lately. He says it kind of itches. Is this normal or should he see a doctor. The scar is about 12 years old.

I fall off a slide when I was about 6 years old. And I have a scar on the back of my head. I'm almost 30 and every once in a while it will itch. I've never went to a doctor about it. I think it is okay.

I have a scar across the bottom of my right heel from surgery I had in 1987. I was 12 years old and the surgery was done to remove a plantars wart. The scar is a LOT bigger than the wart ever was and, to this day, every once in a while it'll bug me. It won't hurt, but it won't be comfortable to put weight on it, either. My podiatrist has said that I have excess amount of scar tissue internally from the surgery and that's what causing the irritation.

My roommate has a BIG scar on is stomach he got when he was 10. He is now 28 & says that it still itches. So it's normal.

It is common for a old or new scar to itch but there are over the counter treatment now that really do work to decrease the size of the scar.

sometimes the will itch. My only scar is from a c-section, and it is just 4 months old so it still hurts.. Tell him if it really bothers him to go to the Dr about it

my scars itch sometimes, it's just because that skin is more sensitive than others, and dries out easier i think. but the only scar i have that bothers me is the one on my stomach from my brain surgery! yeah, it's true, figure that one out!

Well i don't have scars but i do have stretch marks. I really hate them and I'm so young and haven't had any children has yet, so its really puzzling on how i got them. I have some on my lower back, breasts, hips and buttock.

yes, in my head. I had 20 stitches in it. I cant cut my hair as short as I would like because of it. oh well, if I hadnt been looking for that car, it would have been in the face and it would be REAL screwed up looking. bright side to everything I guess.
