i have a scar that's went hypertrophic. it's causing me alot of bother, like i feel as though there is a sewing needle stabbing into my arm at random times throughout the day, so i think i'm going to cut the entire scar out and treat and close the wound properly this time (probably should've got stitches at the time, and shouldn't have picked the scab off either).

any advice before i do it? inb4 go to the doctor

Go to a Dermatologist, of course theres nothing that some village doctor can do. They exist to treat the sniffles and refer cancer patients to the proper docs.
Theres a whole range of treatments aimed at making scars smaller like laser treatment or steroid shots.
That said it will likely goa way in ayear or two, and you can thank yourself for not treating it properly in the first place.
If you do what you're planning to do, it will make it ten times worse. Cutting into scar tissue is not only ten times more painful, it will also cause your body to form scar tissues even more aggressively as a reaction. Dont. Do it.

i mean, surely if i remove the entire scar issue (only on the largest one there) it would heal smoothly?

there was a massively deep one near my wrist, near that little dot further up my arm. got stitches and it's healed just fine

This is why doctors exist, because retards like you have no idea what you're talking about.

maybe try derma stamping it

Get Botox to numb the nerves and a tattoo design to cover the scar.

I think derms put Retinol on it to turn them atrophic. Go ask one.

What you’re feeling is the healing process, reopening it or whatever to try and get rid of it is going to ensure you get a more fucked up scar on top. Just moisturize it regularly and that helps. I have a hypertrophic scar that still itches when it gets dry 3 years later.

I don't think that's going to help much.

Cute, they wouldn't want you to do this.

Hello! I am ACanon, the CIA-student psychic healer. I want to talk to you about this following a referral from the other thread >>>/x/42845773

In short, there are all these pesky energy buildups in the body and if none of them resolve themselves, (which they would never do anyway,) you'll be tempted to cut your body again. TAKE A MOMENT TO PAUSE: THERE IS A BETTER WAY.

I am going to try to set your arm straight. Afterwards, if you want to maybe feel better without cutting, there is probably a way forward for you.

lol alright sure

my apologies to you: you were born in God's less fair gender (for what is my male purpose except to find women to inseminate?)
Your prognosis is already getting better because I am extremely rarely gifted with powers of healing. I have to go to work tomorrow morning but I will do my best to keep your life in a place where you won't have to do any of these mutilaceous things.
I'll talk to you tomorrow.
