Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy scars in legs which is mainly due to post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Need not to worry. Apply aloe vera gel at night . You should apply meladerm cream and it is purely safe to use as this is combination of hydroquinone + Tretinoin + steroid and apply it at night time. Drink plenty of water. If condition doesn't get well in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like minocycline, steroid ointment and may recommend chemical peeling for marks.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
