A doctor could not tell exactly how old a scar is, but he or she would be able to tell if it is a recent scar or an older scar. They may be able to tell approximately how old the scar is through testing.

But just by looking, could they tell whether a scar was years old or just a few months, for instance? If the scar was already faded, would they be able to tell how old it was without a scan?

Why are there blisters on a 6 year old scar below the knee?

There are two reasons one, since the scar is 6 years old over time irritation has most likely accured such as, rubbing, scratching, and itching (e.c.t.) which has caused damage to the skin, causing blisters to form. Two it was caused by something else that happened to be below the scar. If none of these were of your concern please contact your doctor for medical help.
