Patient's question:
A year ago, I had a cesarean section surgery. After the operation, the incision healed quite well. But after a year, the scar has suddenly started to itch. What causes the itching of a cesarean section scar?Doctor's answer:
The itch of the cesarean section scar may be due to inflammation. In this case, it is best not to scratch to avoid the skin from rusting again and causing infection. You can apply calamine lotion to help reduce swelling and pain, or use metronidazole gel for topical application. In terms of diet, it should be much lighter to prevent the intake of extremely cold, spicy, and irritating foods. In addition to regular treatment for the cesarean section, patients also need to pay attention to nursing care.
