What should I do if the incision itches after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

The wound has been itchy and unbearable these past few days. I can't help but scratch it with my hands. I know it's not good, but it's really hard to endure. Could I use some ointment or something to relieve it? How do others solve this issue? What should I do about the itchy wound after a C-section?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described, the itching at your incision after cesarean section may be due to scar itching or an allergy to tape. You can apply a topical cream of compound acetic desonide to the affected area. Additionally, for cesarean section patients during the treatment period, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must pay attention to their diet and eat more light foods to avoid unnecessary harm. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you.
