C section HELP

Had a c section 2 weeks ago and since the dressing has come off I’m really itchy on the scar. I’m struggling to not itch it. Does anyone have any advice or remedies that help atall? And is this normal? Thank you x

Very normal! It means it's healing 😊 Keep it clean and dry from sweat. Loose breathable clothing. Lotion can help keep it moisturized

Most wounds are itchy when they are healing. Believe me, I have been stitched up all over. Of the scar is dry and clean and not infected or oozing there’s no concern. You can try Piriton tablets (or any antihistamine) to help with the itching xx

I’m 6 months post and sometimes it’ll still itch. I just try to keep it moisturized and pat it instead of scratching at it.
