Does Insurance Cover Hypertrophic Scar Removal?

KandyKore
I have 7 hypertrophic scars on my arm. They're almost a year old. They constantly itch, no matter what type of cream I put on it. They itch to the point of where I can't stop scratching, and the skin over them gets scraped off, and I start bleeding. This happens so often, that the scabs don't even get a chance to heal. So basically multiple times each day. I've also tried using multiple types of creams prescribed by my doctor, which didn't help at all. Would scar removal be covered by insurance?
