I have a collection of surgical scars around my middle area (hips thighs tummy etc), some up to ten years old, some newer, that have a really weird thing going on.
Once or twice a week, one or other of the scars will come up with an itchy bump somewhere along the scar line, like an insect bite reaction.
Usually 10 to 15mm across, no central spot or mark. Itches like an absolute fucker, then goes away again within a few hours. Quite puffy and raised, slightly reddish but not angry looking.
It's always on or very near a scar - never more then a mm or two to one side.
Its definitely not insect related. Doesn't look or feel like infection related. Feels like an allergy type response, histamine reaction itch thing.
Been going on for six months or so since my most recent surgery, but affects all the scars, not just the newest one. Seems to be escalating in frequency.
I've googled, obviously, and can't find anything that looks or sounds like this.
Anyone seen this, heard of it, or slightest clue wtf is going on there?
It's not like it's super annoying, but it bothers me that it's getting more frequent.
