Why is my scar so itchy? Read what helps relieve the discomfort

An itchy scar can be highly inconvenient and frustrating. Burn scars, in particular, are often extremely itchy. Fortunately, there is a solution.

Avoid scratching the scar

Scratching may offer temporary relief, but it can permanently worsens the scar. If the scar is on a baby or (young) child, take extra precautions to prevent scratching – for example, by covering the scar with a bandage or putting gloves on the child.

Cooling – an immediate solution

Cooling helps reduce scar itching. Gently cool the skin by using a fan or stepping outside into fresh air. Wear cool, loose clothing. You can also use ice or cold packs but never apply these directly to the skin. First, cover the scar with a washcloth or clean cloth, then place the cold pack on the itchy area.

The best solution for itching scars: scar cream

Itching is only relieved when the damaged scar tissue regains the proper moisture balance. Dry skin is the main cause of discomfort. Many hydrating creams are available, but they only offer very short-term relief: the moisture introduced evaporates quickly because the damaged skin has lost its sealing function.

ALHYDRAN scar cream not only introduces moisture but also seals the skin to retain it. As a result, itching is greatly reduced. Additionally, the cream helps ensure that:

Your (damaged) skin stays supple.
Redness is reduced.
Your scar heals better and may become less visible.
