Untreated caesarean scar growth tends to perpetuate the itching symptoms, which can generally exist throughout the growth period, i.e. within 2 to 3 years. Furthermore, hyperplastic scars can cause hyperpigmentation of the abdominal skin and affect the aesthetic appearance. Therefore, patients with the condition are advised to undergo aggressive treatment such as laser and surgery, as well as topical medication, local hormone injections, combined compression therapy, cryotherapy and radiation therapy to improve the condition.
