Will the incision from a cesarean section still be swollen and red?

Patient's question:

It's been almost a year since I had my child. The incision is horizontal, and it wasn't stitched at the time. I don't know what was applied, but it stayed on for about half a month before being removed. Ever since, there have been two red scars, each about 5 millimeters thick, about 3 millimeters above the abdomen, with numb skin around them. Most of the time, the incision itches, but it's very painful when touched.
What kind of help I need: I want to know what's going on? How can it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the situation you mentioned has issues with the incision from the cesarean section. In fact, considering the symptoms you have, it is likely caused by fibrosis of the scar tissue. Currently, since you have fibrosis of the scar tissue, you can decide to go to a regular hospital and use local anesthesia with hormone drugs to soften the scar. The effect should be quite good. Cesarean section patients can understand regular treatment while using dietary therapy as supplementary treatment in daily life. During daily dietary habits, it is essential to avoid being overly hungry or overly full, and you must never overeat.
