Why do some scars continue to give pain even a week after getting one?

Because usually the scar has not healed internally.  It may look healed but it's not.

Sprains can take a lonnnnng time to heal. I had one once that took an entire year. But burning can indicate a problem. Maybe have him look at it one more time.\n.

Its more than likely drainage from the incision under the scar tissue, possibly with a little infection. Have your doctor look at it. S/he will probably just drain it and possibly give you an  antibiotic. Probably nothing to worry about but if its not going away you should have someone check it out. If there is continuing infection under the scar tissue it could go systemic and that would put your vital organs at risk.

You move on as well.  Time heals.  Every person has a different amount of time that it takes to heal.  You will have scars.  But scars are a sign of healing.  Move forward.  One day at a time.  Good luck to you.

quite variable, depends on how big and where the scars are and how they respond to the treatment, just talk to a dermatologist before you start the treatment, good luck

it will be sore for a few weeks yet or even months, it all depends on your body and how long it takes to heal. the darkened area will prob just be bruising from the piercing. When i had mine done this all happened and had gunk all round it for a while. Get some salt water in an egg cup and soak it for a few mins every day. this will help the healing process.if it starts bleeding or starts worrying you go o the doctors or the place where you got it done just to be sure.x

It may be scar tissue that has formed there. I would demand that the doctor due an ultrasound or whatever it took to figure this out.You are your best advocate.

they say it is stress induced, the reoccuring. You can get medicine to help shorten the heal time such as abreva. the other less costly ones do not work nearly as well. It will be OK it is a very common condition. It is aggravating, but it is no big deal. Good luck

try using Castor oil, rub into scars and marks. they should start to fade in about 30-45 days. inexpensive too

Check in with the doctor first to make sure you haven't worn down the tissue too much. It's probably just a stress injury, but those are some of the most annoying ones. Probably the reason the pain subsides is it goes into a numb-like state, or you just stop noticing because you're in the zone. If this has been bothering you for awhile take at least two weeks off. If you can't do that, then maybe cut back on your mileage to a minimum. Then at least you aren't breaking the habit.

This could possibly be several things, and it may depend on when it happens. Possibly an ulcer? You should seek medical advice if this persists. Best of luck.

you can talk to your doctor about trying some strong local steroid applications versus steroid injections in the area, any surgical treatment could make the scar worse, good luck

Yes that is normal. You said your self you got the cartalidge peirced, that is the most sensitive tissue because its thicker. It takes a while to heal. So it while be painful, maybe even up to a year after. Just keep it clean so it doesnt get infected, that would hurt worse.

It could be a symptom of Hepatitis or something called Lichens Planus (I think I spelled that right). Make and appointment right away to see a Dermatologist so you can be properly diagnosed and hopefully get some medication to get rid of the itch. The longer you wait and the more you scratch, it could leave really bad scars that can take up to 2 years to fade away.

maybe you should go to a doctor because its not normal to have this kind of pain for 6 days in a row,, i had a lesion on both knees, and whenever i exercise too much or something, I end up having this kins of pains but for 3 day or so,, maybe the best is to go to a doctor

She won't feel a thing.  They'll probably keep her in intensive care for first 24 hours after surgery.  They do that as a precaution.  I was out of hospital within 48 hours.  If she's worried about the scar, as I was, tell her that they really do heal up and practically disappear within a few months.  I'm a fair skinned person and you can hardly notice mine at all.
