      Hi, I know my hubby prob needs to get this looked at but I just wondered if others had had an itchy scar some months after the WLE. Hubby stage 3a and had WLE in November. He's not felt much around the area apart from yesterday when it became  itchy suddenly. I can't see anything at though around it, no colouration, no new bump etc. Anyone else had similar? God I hate this! X

          That's pretty normal. It hasn't been that long since his WLE, itching can come and go. It took about 6 months after my WLE before my scar looked and felt normal with no itching or tingling. A recurrance would show up in the scar as a dark area or spot, if there's nothing to see in the scar, then it's just doing its normal healing thing.
