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. At the time, it wasn't stitched, and I don't know what was used to cover it. It stayed on for about half a month before being removed. Ever since then, there have been two red scars, each about 5 millimeters thick, about 3 millimeters above the abdomen, and the surrounding skin is numb. 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 this is and how it can be treated.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the situation you mentioned has issues with the incision from a cesarean section. In fact, considering the symptoms you have, it is likely caused by fibrosis of the scar tissue. Currently, if 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. In daily diet, it is essential to avoid being overly hungry or overly full, and you must never overeat.
