An itchy C-section scar may be caused by granulation tissue growth, bacterial infection, allergies, etc. It can usually be relieved by general treatment and medication as prescribed by your doctor.
1. Granulation tissue growth: The C-section scar may feel itchy due to fresh granulation tissue growth. You can use saline to wipe it properly to relieve the symptoms of itchy C-section scar.
2. Bacterial infection: As the C-section wound is infected by bacteria or fungi during the healing period, it may cause the scar to feel itchy. If necessary, you can use erythromycin ointment and other medications under the guidance of a doctor to relieve the symptoms of an itchy C-section scar.
3. Allergy: The change in temperature makes the nerve endings in the C-section scar very sensitive, which may cause the scar to feel itchy. You can use a wrung out towel to apply a hot compress to the wound to relieve the symptoms of an itchy C-section scar.
If the cause of the itchy C-section scar is unknown or the symptoms have not been relieved for a long time, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time.
