It started getting dark last year and it's itchy sometimes. When I'm sick it gets very itchy and becomes a lot darker then before and it is growing. But I don't scratch it, I just endure the itchiness.

That is not normal.  They are injecting too deep.  You need to find someone that knows how to do this procedure.
