Insurance Coverage for Constantly Itching and Inflammed Scars?

I have numerous small dot scars on my legs and arms. I have used Scar Zone which has helped on my arms. But I believe I have way too many scars on my legs and ankles to try the over the counter treatment. Is scar removal/revision covered under insurance if it is constantly itching and and inflammed?

Scar revision

Scar revision should be a covered procedure under your insurance policy. You can also check by calling your provider.  It is important to undergo a good physical exam and figure out why your scars are problematic.

Highlyu unusual to have multile scars

This sounds atypical. What are the scars from? How many? Raised? Ongoing? You may want to see a deramtologist. Scar revision does not necessarily relieve symptoms so I am reticent to recommend it. I would think about trying to control it with topical steroids or intralesional injections.
