Why is my scars getting darker after workout?

I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist who specializes in scars and uses laser treatments and microneedling/PRP to improve their apperance.  Best, Dr. Emer.

It is common for scars to look pink or red, especially within the first few months of surgery.  Any irritation, including clothes rubbing on the area during a workout could make the scar appear more red or purple.  The redness of the scar can sometimes be improved with laser.  If you are 1 month post operation, your scar is still in the healing process under the top layer of skin.  I would consult with the physician who performed the surgery to see if you are a candidate for laser, or if he believes the redness will improve with time. I hope this was helpful."This answer has been provided without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion.
