ugly scarring

About a year and a half ago I had lumps taken out of both breasts.  The surgeon butchered me pretty well and I have some really horrible scarring.  I can deal with the apperance but the scars still itch so badly!  Any suggestions?

I had a nasty accident in December and have horrible scarring on my arm, I have been using Bio-oil but now have bought scar gel which is supposed to reduce the appearance and size of the scarring, it was expensive so hopefully it will have some effect,my scar tends to be very itchy at times also but if you keep putting something on it to make it moist it tends to help.
