All authors are affiliated with the Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery, Shanghai Seventh People's Hospital, Shanghai, China.
Background: Pruritus and pain symptoms secondary to hypertrophic scars (HTSs) are associated with multiple factors, with age, body mass index (BMI), and scar thickness being the main risk factors (RFs).
Objective: This study mainly discusses the clinical symptoms associated with postburn HTSs and analyzes RFs for itching and pain requiring pharmacological intervention.
Materials And Methods: All clinical data of 93 patients with postburn HTSs who visited the Burn Department of Shanghai Seventh People's Hospital between January 1, 2021 and January 1, 2023 were collected and analyzed retrospectively.

Article Synopsis
- Pruritus, particularly chronic post-burn pruritus (CPBP), is an itch that lasts for over six weeks due to skin damage and abnormal healing, with unknown brain mechanisms contributing to the condition.
- A study involving 20 CPBP patients and 20 healthy controls used resting-state fMRI to analyze brain activity through various measures while accounting for factors like age.
- Results indicated significant brain activity differences in CPBP patients, including higher regional homogeneity (ReHo) in various areas such as the middle frontal gyrus, and increased amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF), suggesting altered brain function related to ongoing itch sensation.

Post-burn scars are prone to malignant transformation, especially when ulceration occurs, raising concerns for precancerous lesions. We report a case of a 56-year-old female with a 50-year history of a large burn scar on her left forearm.
