Hi! I’m glad it’s healing well but I know what you mean about scars getting stiff. This is what was suggested to me with some of the ‘battle’ scars from my chest ports to keep from scarring. (Spelling??).
When dealing with scar tissue it’s suggested to moisturize with a lotion such as shea butter, coconut oil, etc.. Then massage the area several times a day in the direction of the scar for a few minutes. It helps the area remain supple and also helps promote new collagen growth. Don’t be afraid to move the fingers because you don’t want to lose that mobility. Show it who’s boss. ( but massage it first!!) ☺️
