How Can An Itchy Scar On The Thigh Be Treated?
About 8-10 years ago I got bitten by mosquito on my left thigh (posterior side). I remember that in the next day I was bitten 2 times again in the same place right next to the first bite’s spot but with contact. I was scratching till it became a 1-1.5 cm very very itchy scar and till this day I tried few time to treat it with steroids lotions but every time I gave up and scratched. What recommendation can I have?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The most probable diagnosis is hypertrophic scar. You can massage silicone gel on the scar. Consult your doctor immediately, in case of any abrupt change in the skin lesion.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. P. Siva Subramanian.
