I Googled the terms you had used, and looked at the one word my surgeon had given me. His word was "Neuropathy pain".

I found an explanation of the "Hypertrophic scarring" term you gave me and that sounds just like it. It does mention "a local injection of corticosteroids directly into the scar" may be a treatment. I believe that is the one treatment my surgeon tried (didn't work), although I thought it was strange even at the time he did it, that it was not directly into the scar, but off to the left of it.

I'm not worried about it, I'm just tired of living with it!!! It is so annoying but thankfully not painful. I really appreciate your information. Not sure now which Dr. to pursue treatment with. The ENT Dr. was my surgdons friend he had discussed it with and said he would see me..

Thanks again
Michelle
