Why are my scars itchy and scabbing more than one year after breast lift?

perkttSep 18, 2018
I had a breast lift over a year ago. My scars are becoming extremely itchy and I’ve been mindlessly itching them - side note I am already unhappy and would like a revision so I don’t think before I itch - but when I do stop and think i become worried that it will make the scar worse! They peel and there was even some bleeding today! Is this normal?
