Asked By:indygirl444 in Indianapolis, IN

I got a tummy tuck almost 7 years ago and it healed up nicely except the middle portion which took longer to heal than the rest and always had a more thicker scar tissue & purple color but today for the first time ever through my one piece swimsuit my scar got a bad sunburn. I didn't even know you can burn through your suit & it even has a small blister. Will my scar in this area always be sensitive to the sun even after so many years?
