C section irritable

Hi guys im 6months PP and my scar for what ever reason has been constantly irritated idk when it hasn’t bothered me idk if its cause thats where my underwear slips down to that crease or where my pants fold when i sit i just don’t know if this is normal or if there is a cream or lotion i can put on it to help? Idk if it makes a difference but my scar is raised and it was stapled

How would you describe it? Mine gets itchy and still feels numbish and much of it is raised. I'm quite sure that is normal and it's just a long time until it stops feeling irritated. I had stitches on my foot and that scar itched for atleast a year

Kind of a mostly itchy pressure ish and yeah above it is still numb @Cassandra

Okay hahaha I’m going to try vitamin e oil and hope it somewhat helps but glad to know it’s not just me lol @Cassandra

Yeah , I’m a pharmacist and it’s normal for a healing wound to itch, it’s part of the healing process. As long as it isn’t swollen , red and hot, it’s fine. Also it’s natural for Keloids to form at the site of the incision. You can speak to your dermatologist if the skin is unusually raised.

Taking oral high strength Vitamin c can help the healing process internally.

Pls also use oral antihistamines like Loratadine for the itch to avoid scratching that area

Im 11 months pp via c section and mines still irritates me someone told me it never goes away 🥲 and I also have like 2-3 hairs that grow on it so it makes it worse
