Then, can massaging a scar make it worse?

If you have sensitive skin or are predisposed to keloids and hypertrophic scars, intense heat may make your scar worse. If you are getting a massage with oil, it's important to know what kind of oil is being used. You should stop massaging immediately if you notice any blood, pain, redness or heat at the scar site.

Likewise, when should you start massaging scars? You should start massaging your scars as soon as they are fully healed. Generally, you should wait for 3 weeks after surgery.

Similarly, does it help to massage scars?

Massage can help to soften and flatten the scar tissue. Scar tissue may stick to the underlying muscles, tendons, blood vessels, nerves and bones. Massage can prevent this from happening and helps to keep the scar tissue flexible. Scars may feel sensitive, tingle or hurt when touched.
