Is it normal for all my old scars to itch at once

I know about old scars itching at times, even years after they have healed, but is it normal for them to occur at once?

Three years ago I injured my head and required stitches, then a few months ago I got a pretty deep cut in my arm that made a thick scar. Just the other day I scraped the skin off my Achilles heel and its just forming a scab. I had a shower today, like I do every day and hung around indoors most of the time- nothing out of the ordinary where I could have picked up some cooties. Anyway, tonight all three these are itching like crazy and I don't understand why its happening at the same time.

I don't think I'm particularly stressed out about anything, but I may be wrong. Can't think of any other factors that could influence all the scars acting up at once. I've had some itching in the past from the older scars, but its never been all at once. so... is it normal?

    im guessing it is normal the only scar i have is from where a tick bit me on my arm last year and it itched for about 6 months and you know i kept scratching it til the scab came off then it grew back on an started itching again til one day i had enough and sucked the juice out with my mouth then spit it out and finally it stopped itching.
