Hi
Itching over the scarred region is very common .
Any type of skin injury or skin burn tends to heal with some degree of skin fibrosis and skin shrinkage which is a normal skin response while healing .
All you need to do is to moisturise the area well and keep it well hydrated .
Apply plenty of skin moisturisers or hydrating oils so as to avoid too much drying .
